I am using the Hola extension on Firefox and have had no problems with it.
I also use live.camposat.tv and have no problems with that.  I don't think I need to buy any builds or boxes as I don't miss U.K. tv enough to want to pay for it.
I don't pay for a tv license in the U.K. as I don't watch live tv, catch up works fine. There are a lot of people funding the BBC and it's crazy salaries through the license fee, I don't agree with it and the law states you only need a license to watch live tv,ie, as it is being broadcast. The independents self fund. (Rant over) 8-)
