With age I get more and more fed up with the subterfuge necessary to be able to receive UK TV and radio programmes via satellite outside the UK. I am not sure what I do or where I go with this business of new cards – I purchased a digibox with card via e-bay and it has been great up until now.
What I do not understand is why it is not possible to pay to receive these programmes if one lives on the continent. I am sure there must be many like me who would be more than willing to do so. I can buy English newspapers, English books, English video tapes without problem. On our cable distribution we have BBC1 and BBC2, we can receive Radio 4 on long wave, I can get any BBC radio programme via my PC no matter where I am……………………………so why all the barriers to receive the programmes via satellite??
There are no longer restrictions on buying and receiving goods, services etc. from any other country within the European Union so what is so special about satellite broadcasting??
Sorry, a bit of a rant but I am getting very frustrated with the whole business
