    Default No terrestrial aerial what IP box

    Need a little help.

    Got a holiday home that is in the middle of no where and has no TV aerial. On the plus side it has 50mb BB.

    What IP box can I buy that has all the normal terrestrial channels live ? Would a ten quid Now TV box work and if so can I skip the subs fee as I'm only interested in the free to air ?

    I have a now tv box mate, and I skipped the sub fees etc. as I just wanted catch up which it's ok for that: iplayer, 4OD and demand 5. I've also added a youtube app to it but no option for live streaming. Tbh, that's what I wanted anyway as I don't want to pay for a TV licence.

    Thanks for that. Having thought about it live TV isn't that important to me now as I can always watch or stream it from a laptop. Just one more question, does NOW have ITV too ?

    Just remember guys if you are not watching live tv you do not need a tv licence. The only reason i pay mine is the kids watch cbeebies. As soon as they have grown out of it im going to scrap mine

    Think the answer for me is going to be a cromecast dongle which the internet claims goes on sales tomorrow morning in the UK. Can anyone confirm this or pricing, There around 30 quid on flea bay at the moment.
