SOLVED! I managed to go to her villa today, and discovered that the location setting for itv hub had for some reason changed to Glasgow, so the default itv would have been STV. Don't know why or how it happened, but changing the location to an English postcode restored the main itv channel to the h...

Well she was talking about buying a new now TV stick, maybe that's the best bet

Thanks for that, I do understand that about itv 1 changing to itv a while back, I only called it 1 on here to differentiate from the others. The only live channels showing are itv2 3 4 etc itv does not show. She showed me on video chat and it definitely is not there. In any case something must be aw...

I have a client using a black Now TV box 2016 vintage, she says she hasn't been able to get live itv 1 on it for some time. Live itv 2, 3, 4 etc are on there but itv1 just doesn't exist. itv 1 catchup is on there, although in typical itv hub fashion not that much is available. :( All the other UK ca...

You'll miss her now she's gone

Good news

Just tried it on Samsung smart TV and on my amazon fire box, both working fine.

I've had the same thing some times, even had similar random issues in the UK

To be honest I was unaware you could do this, I googled it and it came up with this, there's another link that takes you to doing the transfer online you woul...

Not an expert but it looks a bit orchid like to me, my wife says it's a bit like a fuzzy bean

I've got SmartDNSProxy on my laptop which doesn't slow things down. When I'm away I take my laptop and can use an HDi cable to plug into the TV to watch, although I realise that's not ideal long term. It's basically what we did when we first lost the UK TV channels but it's fiddly, I agree. Yep sam...

Whilst he's trying various stuff to get UK TV it may be worth doing a check on the speed and ping on that connection too, shared wifi may not be enough to watch tv especially once a VPN is used.
In my experience in hotels etc shared wifi can be iffy

Where is your google account registered, Spain or UK?

The best in my opinion, not necessarily the cheapest but reliable and honest.

Off topic yes but I have to say the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 64GB is a spectacular phone for €160 I've had one for a while now. Superb.

UPDATE Avatel have finally solved the issue,it's a different IP address now and is acceptable to smartdnsproxy Unlike movistar which changes ip address, Avatel fibre maintains the same ip address whenever you reboot the router or have a power cut etc So in the past I never had the need to reactivate...

Anyone else using Avatel for their fibre optic, and smartdnsproxy too? I have been for just over a year along with smartdnsproxy and have had great fast reliable service until now. I'm now having issues with smartdnsproxy because my ISP is only issuing me with a "data IP address" rather than a "resi...

And my mum always told me I would get square eyes when I sat close to the old 12" screen back in the 60's

Just a bit further along towards Estepona near the Cancelada cambio de sentido mountain side there's a place near Supersol and the Repsol garage. Repairs to all makes and quick too.

Fair do's, I do remember I had real problems with the Mitrastar one back in 2015, then they changed it to the Askey for me. As you say it appears only the Now box that can't be modified.

I'm no longer with movistar for fibre but what make of Movistar router is it? If I remember correctly the Askey is a cinch and works well with smart DNS but the other make, Mitrastar?, I think isn't so adaptable and needs a second router with the smart DNS settings to work correctly. I'm with Avatel...
