Wendy, Pete may also be able to help but I believe you can use one dish to feed two receivers simultaneously if you fit a twin output transponder (LNB) to the dish. You would need to run two coax cables, one output/cable to each receiver ...indeed a four way LNB could feed four boxes, etc. Need to check whether it is easy to fit a new LNB onto the old sky satellite dish, many replacement LNBs have a 40mm collar, don't know sky dishes. 

Search i907 on satpimps website. I have used both versions of the icecrypt s1600chd box successfully, unfortunately they are no longer available new but do come up on fleabay. Note, relatively few brands/models can work and none will work without some kind of 3rd party firmware flashing/setting up. Having said that the icecrypt is probably less involved / easier  to set up than many of the others! I'm sure there are still people that could do this all for you at a price! 

I've got a satellite dish back from the SKY days, pretty sure its 1m.  Can I run 2 boxes off it to be watched independently?

I'm not techy, can you give me an idea of what the intelsat907 compatible boxes are called?

Thanks.

I have done what you suggested and yes you are correct. Well, sort of.

You somehow failed to mention that there are ways round this so it is not all doom & gloom.

Perhaps you should read this - https://www.fastestvpnguide.com/workaround-for-bbc-iplayer-vpn-not-working/

FirstoneTV is still working reasonably well, decent picture, but they now require Adblocker to be disabled.

True you can usually find internet streams of just about anything, but you can't moan too much about getting something for nothing when one fails.

'Rampant piracy' is what the company who owns the rights to show Spanish football in UK called it. Apparently costing them a lot in lost business.

The game will continue as each side tries to outsmart the other. Maybe books will come back into fashion for these long dark winter evenings.

If you have one that works, great but I wouldn't recommend buying a twelve month subscription!

We have MEO with about 10 mb speed on average. We have mag box...all over ebay about £50. There is that many flogging full years subscriptions you can pick them up for less than £20 with all channels 3`0` clock kick offs red button films. Ours also has Portuguese German and other language channels. Buffers now and again but nothing major and never a problem with internet usage restriction used every day.

Less than a £100 a year..good value.

Been using the same VPN for 7 or 8 years & never had a problem with it.

And there are plenty of others that have been around for years which are still going.

Saying that VPN's are being or will be blocked is a bit like saying that illegal football/sports streams are going to be blocked.

Year after year broadcasters have been saying this but still in 2018 you can watch just about anything you want every day of the week.

In fact the availability, reliability and quality of this stuff is better now than it's ever been.

I'll believe it when I see it

Cubsur is correct....BBC iplayer is now not available through many VPN services....nothing to do with registration or logging in... they and other legitimate geolocked services have, for many months, been analysing traffic to identify heavy/unusual ip address use, which are likely to be those used by VPN servers, and blocking them......there are still a few that haven't been found or are better at playing the "cat and mouse" game. A VPN service which can offer you a dedicated UK ip address at extra cost may work. Most of the better known/popular/simpler VPN providers for catchup no longer work or wont for long!  

So you are not registered then?

That explains it.

They can obviously see some VPN's easier than others.

Two weeks ago I was in UK and to sign in to the the BBC website just to listen to 5 Live Sports Extra. BBC TV I player "

"You now need to sign in to watch. It's quick & easy"

Broadcasting as we knew it for almost 100 years will soon come to and end. Using digital platforms it's easier for governments and companies to control and restrict access to their services.

Never been blocked by the BBC or any other UK Channel.

I use Browsec which costs just $4.99 a month
