Hi
Since I came back to North Cyprus I cannot get any channels (Wife only wants BBC1,2 and ITV channels).
Should I change my system (We have an old Android box (Codi box?).
We only want the terrestrial channels, what do people recommend?
Thank You

Using WiFi, and a PC/Laptop connected to your TV, subscribe to SmartDNSproxy (very cheap) with 14 day free trial to start with anyway..
You will then be able to watch all the channels you want. The DNS setup does not require a VPN and does not suffer the slowing down of your broadband.
The only proviso, your ISP needs to supply a good broadband speed. This will depend where you are and how good your access to their network is...

TVMucho will give you an hour a day free if you submit an email address but subscription charges very high for longer watching. No sport, just normal free UKTV Box channels.

Do you have a smart TV? If so you should be able to load all of the UK channels on there as apps. Thing is you will not be able to watch them as they detect you are outside the UK. Same applies with a Firestick device. I would suggest your old Kodi box would not be as good as the other two options.
As Groucho comments above the easiest way to get them is via SmartDNSproxy which offer a free trial. I am unsure of the price at the moment but if you do go for the trial wait until the end of it as they usually offer you a better price. I seem to recall a friend pays £2.99 a month by paying it annually up front. That is cheaper than I pay for my DNS and it is better than a VPN becuase once more as Grouch says it will not slow down your internet.
You do also need to ensure you have sufficient speed from your internet to prevent buffering. Different ISP's offer different packages so worth doing a bit of research to make sure you have sufficient.

Hi Murphy,
Here's a way to watch/test UK terrestrial/Sky channels etc via FREE TRIALS!
1. Install IPTV Smarters Pro
https://www.iptvsmarters.com/#downloads
2. Smart DNS Proxy
https://www.smartdnsproxy.com/Setup
3. IPTV - Free Trials
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=iptv+ ... nt=gws-wiz
Once everything is installed to your preferences, email IPTV Provider for a Username & Password, for The IPTV Smarters Player.
All free trials, I've set up Smart DNS Proxy on my Router, then all can watch BBC iPlayer etc , on that Network.

Exactly what I was thinking Groucho. Any IPTV I have tried has been poor at best plus many are being taken down.
