[QUOTE="bigtee, post: 678190, member: 238440"] Aw shucks! I still need to add another point. With the Spanish expat using the D+ card in the UK ---- there is one more issue of whether they are breaking their contract with D+. For a start that is no concern of UK law. Obviously, D+ could choose to switch off the card (say under pressure from Sly); apart from switching off, whether this is legally sustainable in a court of law is a matter primarily of Spanish law. In practical terms, there is plenty of evidence that providers do indeed turn a blind eye to the use of their cards outside the normal territory (e.g. Sly cards in Spain; lots of Polish cards in the UK etc etc). There is one provider that I find particularly amusing -- Al Jazeera Sports aka JSC. One of their sports/football channels follows a decidedly English format; not only that, it uses English commentators, English presenters including a certain Mr. Lineker, a panel of English "experts" including a certain Mr. Venables ---- basically, a crew that you might see on an ITV or BBC football programme. Naturally they are a Middle East provider; but one argument is that there is a lot of English expats in the Middle East and perhaps such dedicated English format is targeted at them. Perhaps so indeed! On the other hand, however, JSC sports cards are extremely popular among UK based satellite hobbyists as well! [/QUOTE]
