Thanks' David, it's been a pretty tough year or so, lost my brother (72) last year to Alzheimer's, and the xyl, had an injury that left her in a coma for a couple of weeks, the result of that was 6 months in hospital and a series of brain operations for her, not had her home for 16 months now, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, as she has made an amazing recovery, although has been left with significant brain damage.
hopefully she can go to France next year, although travel insurance might be a challenge, as I am not sure UKGHI card (EHIC) will cut the mustard.
Back to the TV thing, I thought there might be a catch with using some VPN's case of buyer beware, and avoid those offering VPN for free.
To be fair I am sad that using regular satellite is almost at an end, I doubt SKY etc will continue via satellite when the ASTRA2 fleet comes to an end, same for ASTRA1 and other DTH satellites up there.
If things had been done properly we could have had UK tv & radio available anywhere in Europe with a simple soft encryption service for UK TV licence holders, using a 35cm dish.
The French did it with there Francsat service, so I feel badly let down by the UK powers that be.
Although Starlink does now offer a solution, albeit at a cost and the VPN issue, but of course you also get the full benefit of broadband, so I guess that is progress, and I am sure given time Starlink will become more affordable.
