Hi Helen

Unfortunately you will see the same message from RAY all over this site telling everyone IPTV sellers are Charlatans. NOT TRUE (lots are) I will give him that but we have been here 16 years and have a lot of clients who return year after year so myself and unhelpful RAY will agree to disagree. Yes IPTV is illegal we all know that but some sellers are as helpful to customers as they can be under the circumstances.

If you want to know more the good the bad and the ugly I tell the truth that I can promise you please send a personal message I will get back to you we advertise on hear and if clients had issues with the service that is supplied they would complain to the administrator to the best of my knowledge that has not happened. We advertise on this site see our add on the right hand side of this page.

I am just annoyed at RAY he should think before posting tarring us all with the same brush HES WRONG he does no know us.

Regards

Pete

Anyway....

If you want to watch UK TV via satellite, then you can use a 

-Freesat box (selection of free channels), 

-a Sky box (for both free channels and if you have a sky subscription with the account at a uk address you can "control"), the Sky pay channels 

-or a basic "free to air" box , which gets all the free channels, but with limitations of no 7 day programme guide, or automatic channel updates (which some find too clumsy or annoying to use).

In Muro, you will need a min 110x120cm dish, with a 125x135cm dish being the recommended, This will get you all the UK TV channels in all but the heaviest of rains. And needs to be installed ideally on a concrete wall or floor, and as sheltered from winds as possible (given the strong winds in the area recently!)

Internet options available to you will depend where exactly you are going to be. In some areas you have fibre or fast ADSL - great. Some areas you may have to rely on 4g or the local wireless internet "wifi" service, assuming you have line of sight to their masts.local wireless internet "wifi" services can be slow, and suffer when a lot of people are using it, but are cheap and have the option to turn on and off when you are there or not. Best advice here would be speak to your neighbours...

If you have good decent stable internet, then you also have the option of watching UK TV via the internet, either via free streams / apps, or a more reliable and better quality paid private IPTV service. Some people have problems with such systems (eg freezing, buffering, unreliable) as usually their internet is no good (local wireless internet "wifi" service are notorious for such). 

All systems have their pros and cons. There is no one ideal system.

Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any other questions.
