The recent move of the satellites that transmit TV signals has caused plenty of consternation for people here in Lanzarote. Over the last few years, the size of dish required and the cost of getting regular English Language TV channels has become harder and harder. The best option these days seems to be using internet based services like Ray Alum’s UK TV Service.
If you still want to sit down in an evening and see “What’s on” that’s probably the best way to do so.
But increasingly, people are moving towards “On demand” television. Basically, that means choosing what you want to watch and when to watch it. Got an hour to spare? Sit down and watch a couple of episodes of your favourite series! Want to while the afternoon away on the couch in your PJ’s? Stream a movie!
There are many services available which let you download or stream TV series and films, and Amazon has now joined the fray with their “Instant Video” service.
You’ll find complete TV series and thousands of films there, which you can either buy to watch as often as you want, or rent, so you can access them for a few days. As long as you have a decent broadband internet connection, you can stream them to a laptop or tablet and connect the device to your television!
