There are literally so many different things to consider when moving overseas that it is not possible to cover everything in one go.

Even though TV stations will be some way down the list of your considerations when looking to move overseas, many people like to keep in touch with their former homeland and indeed many of us have our favourite television programmes.

However, while these particular TV services are provided by satellite and in theory available around the world, where do you stand regarding your British TV output in Cyprus?
