Hope this helps

Thanks for the information. This sounds interesting. Does it allow one to see the major US ntwks?

Certainly UK, US I don't know cannot be picked up when in UK.. All Internet options come with threat of viruses or other nasties on your pc iPad so be careful. Do US not have digital TV?

We use ChannelHopperUK (U can Google it), for just under 7euros month from Spain. Gives problem free connection and no annoying advertising!!! Works in conjunction with free software Kylotv for watching on your big screen which is really friendly to use, there's also a free trial period. Simples

As people have said using the internet and a website (Vipbox or frontrowsports - look on Google) you can watch very good Flash streams. You will generally have to use a PC or Mac for this, however, there are some internet browsers now available for the iPad that enable you to watch Flash videos. There will be lots of pop-up adverts but once you close them and maximise the screen it's generally a good quality alternative.

As for live TV you can use a VPN (Google it if you're not sure of what it is) and you can subscribe to a service that will then help you mask your IP address and look like you're in (whatever country you want to see the TV from) a different location. I have watched RTE and BBC (live through this) and also catch up services, such as: 4OD, iPlayer, ITV player and 5 on demand.

For general series that you may want to watch (away from terrestrial UK TV) like the shows broadcast on Sky Atlantic or that have been bought in from HBO etc then watchseries is very good.

So many good solutions means my Italian is being hampered - but at least I don't have to watch Italian TV - which, let's face it...is awful!

VIPBOX is a website for live streaming. Another good online site is 'watchseries'

You can use filmon.tv to get all the BBC /itv/channels 4+5. Free, no adverts (other than the actual ones on the relevant channels), no signing up or registering. And best of all, no need for any proxy or vpns etc.
