Does anyone know how to access UK television in Dubai? We're happy to pay a subscription.
There are various options hitting our social media feeds but it's hard to be sure if they're scams or not. If anyone can recommend something, we'd love to hear from you.
Thanks. Do you need to set it up in the UK or can you download everything you need here without IP address problems? And avoiding the obvious fix for that?
Not true, this is a service that is not allowable under the TRA regulations - if you look at the Stickies on the Dubai forum index you'll find a thread specifically about that subject.
So DNS services & use of a proxy server is OK, but use of a VPN is not?
What about if you are watching a UK TV series with a lot of flesh on display. Not talking about adult, just series like Versailles that have a lot of nudity. Could you be prosecuted in the UAE for watching it? Or am i worrying over nothing.
Most likely, there are so many people using IPTV services out here that it is the case that you'd be the needle in the haystack. It's difficult to interrogate the stream to see what you're watching, they would most likely only be interested in anyone circumventing the censored sites using a "###"
I've been using a box ordered from expat vision site. Have very little technical knowledge but they have really good customer service chat boxes on their website if/when you have any questions.
If you want to try KODI TV (and I think it's brilliant), you can try it out first on your PC before buying the Android box for the TV.
Bear in mind, KODI is just the player. You'll then need to set it up with repositories so you can watch Sky Sports, movies etc. There's loads of videos on YouTube showing you how.
It's a free download for Windows, so try it out and see if it's for you. The initial setup will take you an hour or so if you know what you're doing, and double that if you are a newbie like I was.
If you like it, then get a TV box. They're around £50 GBP for the basic ones, or £80-100 for 4k ones with more memory
If your box is Android based, as mine is, then I can recommend Mobdro - lots and lots of channels including Sky.
