Yes...

You also need either a house (with appropriate TV) in the UK or a friend / relative as the feed source plus you also need a good quality internet feed...

The technology has been around for quite a while and I recall having used it in the States a few years ago but I'm sure it is much changed now.

Forgive me, I have to be a little cautious here as I'm involved with the new Eltel.TV service being prepared for launch...

but the current alternatives (without comment upon legality) would appear to be: -

A big dish with a suitable receiver Freesat or Sky
One of the MMDS re-broadcasters such as Torresat or Superbeam
IPTV / WebTV (including 'slingbox' and Telefonic's offerings)
Spanish TDT service (which I currently use)

or the somewhat ironical 'reprogramming the ex-telmicro coship boxes to accept the Torresat unencrypted signals'

It really is a case of 'you pay your money and you take your chance' at the moment...

Thumbs down

I was given a sling box for Christmas 2 years ago - and it NEVER worked!!

you need a broadband connection at both ends ( home in UK) and wherever you wish to receive.

Did it not work because there was a fault with the Slingbox or because you didn't have broadband connections at "both ends"?

Sorry, I do not personally realign the telmicro equipment but I'm sure there will either be somebody upon this forum or someone local to where you live that will point you in the right direction...er...no pun intended!

There are plenty of sports channels available, but I guess it would be best to discuss this with the people in the shops.

I think in the majority of incidences the sporting event is purchased and commentary added locally not dubbed, therefore an English version would not be available. That said I watched the liverpool/chelsea match the other day and the commentator was just like 'sheepheads' Senor Willy from Soccer AM,

ah thems was the days!!!

so go ask in any Master Cadena electrical products store.
