english tv

we are moving to Portugal in the next few months , we are buying a place just outside albufeira (benaciate)  ,whats the best way to get English tv ?  

all depends on what you want to spend. dish pointing at forces sat gets best bbc and itv but no record. sky with subscription and hide your internet via a VPN and then all as normal except lots of channels only on catch up but at least you can record in hd and watch at leisure. amazon firestick , android tv boxes (search kodi)and now tv boxes good, again hidden behind vpn. all other options via internet with no record, buffering, pop ups and no hd. or a smart tv with appropriate apps and again maybe need to hide internet to make it appear you are in uk. I have the full sky package and just record bbc and itv as cant watch live. if i need live tv i have now tv and a firestick or have apps on tv. 

If you're having internet -

Filmon  - http://www.filmon.com/group/uk-live-tv
No VPN required and completely free - about a dozen channels.
Also available in Windows Store

Otherwise you can use Media Hint - https://mediahint.com/
Hides your ISP for $3.95 (£3) a month or $39.50 (£32) a year.
Works for most UKTV Channels including BBC & ITV iPlayers and 4OD + you can also get all BBC Radio Stations and the BBC webpages are the UK version, not the World version.

If you have an Android device (phone or tablet) you can install an app called Mobdro - https://www.mobdro.com/

Completely free.

Another good VPN for Android (or Windows) is Touch VPN - available from the appropriate App Store and completely free to install & run.

Hi and Happy New Year
Has anyone on here got a Potugeuse satellite TV set up? I've read that they have up to 4000 European radio and TV channels and was wondering if any of you have experience of these.

In the words of Pink Floyd - "Got thirteen channels of sh*t on the T.V. to choose from" (it was written in the 1970's)
Or for Portuguese TV, multiply that by 10

The woman who runs the hairdressers downstairs in our block has it on all day.
It just consists of half a dozen people talking about God knows what, a few acts that are absolutely appalling and an audience of about 20 people who clap politely but presumably only when they're told too.
It's the same all day long, every day of the week and as far as I can make out each of the 4 main channels have their own different, but essentially the same, version.
There is a break at 1pm for the news but this normally consists of 40 minutes of Portuguese politics and 20 minutes about football - even that is usually a video of a few players just kicking a ball around on the training pitch.
You are correct, it is the worst (unless someone else knows differently)

Hmmm...
Am I misunderstanding the "Brazilian" reference?
