Anyone else suffering from the loss of these channels as apparently the same is being reported in Spain, Germany, France, Sweden and Italy? Just lost ITV and Channel 4 today as well as they've moved to the new Astra satellite whose spot beam only really covers the UK...

Typical had to happen just before we play Chelsea and Barcelona which are being televised on ITV...

Surely BBC have missed a trick here as every expat I know would quite happily pay a license to watch it even though it's been free for the last 12 years...

Like me everyone will be cancelling their sky subscriptions and just opt for the internet channels via a router through the tv...
 
Yep same here in Granada, Spain. Lost all BBC, ITV, Ch4. Ive heard there will be a solution re aligning the existing sat dish with a different set top box. Using filmon.com at present but its not great on a 50" screen but watchable. Will update when more info is available

Cheers for the heads up on that would be great if that were too happen...Might have to get Benfica tv in the meanwhile they have the rights on all the live premier league games..only in Portugal could that happen
