    Possibly. You would need a UK Amazon Prime account though. I bought one for my dad from here who lives in France and this is how we set it up.


    EDIT: Another issue he has is if he asks for the weather or the time it is UK based

    Virgin block virtually anything they are asked to. No end of "blocked" notices coming up these days (not that I try and watch anything I shouldn't lol)

    Not sure where the £120 per month Virgin bundle comes from but I have the family bundle:
    Family TV package (basically everything other than Sky Sport and movies) includes all the BT Sport etc.
    Landline including a small charge to reduce international calls (Portuguese wife)
    200mb Internet. (I get about 230mb wired, 150ish wi-fi dependent on how many tablets, phones, consoles are turned on - kids. lol)

    Each month is around the £65 mark dependent on the wife and her phone calls. Always between £63 and £70 per month.

    The £120 comes from 3 TiVo boxes, 350 meg Broadband and Full house TV with Sky Sports HD & BT Sports & Movies. Didn't actually want the movies, but it worked out cheaper due to the way they discount :)

    Definitely when the contract is up I'll ditch all but broadband (already checked and it is £50/month for full 350 meg BB and basic phone, that I never use).

    With the HD HomeRun device plugged into the aerial for FreeView around the house, Netflix and a bit of streaming I have no need for any form of Virgin TV :)

    I don't really get blocked for anything, though I use a smart DNS service (unlocator.com) and a VPN at the router level for any streaming or things that are geo blocked.

    Don't use torrents - far too insecure and eats all your bandwidth, but use news groups instead (NZB files).

    I use 2 standalone WiFi access points (UniFi made by Ubiquiti) in the house (the VM one is just awful) and get the full 350 meg anywhere, even the bottom of the garden on the 5 ghz network, and about 150 on the 2.4 ghz :)

    A good tip is to name your 5 & 2.4 ghz networks different names, otherwise it will flip between the two automatically :) If you give them separate names (eg home & home fast) it will stay on your preferred band

    ...I'm sure I'm too geeky.....

    It's all amazing to me, I pay 10 quid a month for internet and 10 quid a month for cable TV which has premiership games live. What on earth do you get for the other 100 quid a month? (apart from the bill?)

    @thereisonlyoneno7 are there any restrictions if me and my parents want to watch at the same time on the same account. Like a limit of one device at any one time

    Apparently they do a multi room package for that - I didn’t take it as the other half hates football [emoji16].

    Think on the offer it is £40 for the year - after the weekend it will be £50 I think. Not sure. If you are interested P me and I can give you a link to there group and the name of the guy that sorted me out.

    It is called insomnia which makes you bad tempered and ****ing irritable. Just think what a really nice guy I might be if I slept at night.

    I've always wondered what happens to insomniacs if they get jet lag. Do they become insomniacs during the day? :bandit:

    Quick question. Would this work in Italy? My mother in law loves watching Real Madrid. She’s Spanish and a diehard Fan. :)

    Yep, probably better as no UK ISP steaming blocks.

    We should just sticky soccer streams on reddit. There is always a working stream on there for everything. Just google it.

    My son, who is much better at these things than me, came up with Reddit and I have found the options on there (& there are lots) to be generally excellent
