watching F1 abroad via sky Go

[hairyben]

We'll be flying to France during the next Grand Prix and hoping to watch the race via sky go when in the hotel later in the afternoon, I have a tablet that can use both roaming 4G or local wifi

I've not used sky Go and not used it abroad, will this "just work" or will some IP address regional broadcasting rights nonsense thwart me?

Thanks for the tips, will install a couple to try

Sky have been working on VPN detection - several reports on their forum and elsewhere that some of the big providers no longer work...

Why are sky that bothered? Yes they have a regional license and no doubt a requiremnt to police it to some degree but is a few ex pats and holidaymakers using paid subscriptions ruining anyones business model?

It is something that the EU failed to get a grip of. Technology runs way faster than politics.

If you buy a product, you expect to have freedom of movement. Services, is very heavyly regulated, but with copyright, they have not begun to scratch the surface. If you have paid for the content, it should be available to enjoy anywhere in Europe.

Having failed to act quickly, pirated streams have become widely available.

motoGP.com subscription costs half in europe what it does in the uk, and checks you ip location when you buy to ascertain this. Once you buy it you can use it wherever you like though.

Great things, vpn's
