Sounds good, but is this coming through the Inet, if so will it not suffer from problems as Nigel has said?

no

Yes - it is WiMax and it comes via the internet. It may not have problems today or tomorrow but may do at some time in the future.

What do I base this on?

At Christmas I spoke to a company that provides an IPTV service and also have their own WiMax network based near Torrevieja. They have been in business quite a few years so have lots of experience.

The transmitters in the towers (the ones everyone connects to) are referred to as 'Panels'. On a typical WiMax network anything from 40 to 100+ users will connect via a single panel as they share channels and bandwidth. The company in Torrevieja will not allow more than 8 IPTV users to be connected to a single panel as they have had problems with breakup when connecting more users.

So today no, tomorrow maybe not, but when you start overloading the system then yes. WiMax is WiMax be it Iberbanda, Eurona, Ebrecom or another company. This capacity problem does not affect ADSL which is why I will only supply IPTV services to ADSL users.

Hello all, just a note from Vinaros. I was on Wimax.
I was not that good
The company I was with transferred me to another company (Langur). They have changed the antenna for a Routerboard sxt 5nd which is I believe one end of a 5Ghz point to point radio link. So far so good with streaming TV from Filmon.

We have been using Iplayers quite successfully but watching TV live can be a problem, the whirly thing happens too much so that parts of the programme is missed.  So Nigel considering what you have said about band widths , do you feel it best for us to stick to Eurona?

Hi Pat

         I had 1 mb speed with iberbanda and rang them up and now have 3 mb for slightly less money. I use the ipad and apple tv for live TV from UK I also have it on my kindle for watching live Tv but mostly radio 4 extra all the bedtime stories read to you whilst you drop off.. On apple TV I have changed the DNS settings to get netflix USA and there is no "Buffering" or whirly thing as you put it,All the films play if they are filmed in,Full HD.On netflix you can get all the old favs (complete series) like Campion,Morse,Endeavour,Midsummer Murders Marple etc.....Sorry my wife likes that sort of thing. For live TV we use tunnelbear VPN to change our location to the UK. For less than 4 euros a month you can use it on one pc and two devices ie your pc, ipad, and kindle fire. So we do not have to have the computer on when watching BBC1 etc. Just mirror it to the tv with the ipad.Three devices for 4 euros a month aint bad (price of three coffees) You can also have all the catch TV apps on your ipad and play them to your TV. Not all can afford a thousand Euro or thereabouts for something that's out of sight out of mind like a dish.(On the roof)You have the cost of the ipad but once you start using it you see all the uses to can bring you apart from TV and it's transportable and small/light plus you can play candy crush saga all day.

I know Nigel has explained that we could have a big slow down if all the people wanted to watch UK TV at the moment there are not a lot of EEEEEENglish near me and the mast I use but I must say its not my field so I shall wait and enjoy whilst I can. I have never had a problem with TunnelBear in the 7 months I have used it. You can use it for free on a 500mg download limit but it gives you an idea of how it works and if its for you. You can buy an apple TV 2 which has been hacked and this has all films sport etc with nothing else to pay. Apple TV3 then one I have has not been hacked yet but they are working on it. What that means is at the moment I can only use apple and can not add to my list of on screen apps. When its hacked or the correct term "Jailbroken " Same thing, You can add all your catch up players bla bla and free films etc. Have a look in Ebay The item I have added a link for below is one of the good guys he is very contactable re upgrades problems etc.

IPAD for sale.

With regards mirroring We have an Ipad4 not the very latest but good enough for us. What happens is you go to settings on the ipad put you VPN on to UK and then go to the front page of the ipad , swipe up the screen with your finger or a ipad pen ( 1.99 from Chinese shop) and the air screen will show with a link to your apple TV they then connect no wires required, And when you open BBC iplayer or filmon or whatever on your ipad it will play on your big telly. Seems a big expense we already had the bits and bobs before the channel loss I was just sharing how we now get by if we need to watch BBC or ITV etc. We have Sky which I still pay for but I missed the radio 4 extra which also went but we now have it back using the methods described.
