Hi, I am in Spain for 3 months, my apartment has most of the English TV channel's BUT, I was hoping to watch some catch up programs on my laptop.  I think availability was stopped Dec 21?????

Any recommendations/ideas would be much appreciated.

Regards

Steve

Obviously it's your provider who should know what and why.

You could use a VPN such as express vpn to access catch up

Thanks for this, much appreciated RGA.  I will look at your suggestion around Express VPN a little more a bit later.  One thing that I did notice is that I am able to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime from my laptop but as far as I can see nothing else.

We bring our Amazon Fire Stick with us when we come to Spain and use this for catch-up in conjunction with Express VPN and all works well so long as you have a good internet connection.

A big thank you. I have just discovered that because I have AVG premium protection on my laptop, I can change a couple of settings and it works. 

Cheers Steve
