Hi Smithwick, there are so many different ways to do this, that I could write a book about it. You could try FreeSat, which has its own version of YouView called FreeTime (I think), as long as you have a sat signal.

You could on the other hand just do it all by the Internet. Probably the cheapest way is to get hold of a Now TV box from the UK (have it sent by a friend or relative) and a Smart DNS service. There is a review of this over here:

But there is so much else that can be done. Zattoo under Smart DNS & a sub, Samsung Smart TV or Blu-Ray apps etc.
