Thanks Northerner; yes I am aware of the "supposedly" legal restrictions of watching UK TV abroad. But, the way I see it, I have bought a UK TV licence & that should allow me to watch UK TV no matter where I am in the world, even if it needed some for of licence verification/sign in but that's not the way they have decided to do it! For many years we've spent 4 months a year in Spain & every ex-pat I know out there works some sort of fiddle to get the UK channels. It used to only be possible via satellite dish & (illegal) sky box & even the hotels/apartment blocks do it! But, with Spanish BB speeds improving, it's been possible to stream most of the time, in SD at least, for ablaut 6/7 years where we go. I did think I would still need to run through a VPN as now with my lap top but just wondered if there was some jiggery pokery built into the TV mini box that would prevent it working out there. Guess the only way I'll know for sure is to try it but I didn't want to lug the box all the way to Spain only to find it wouldn't work!
