  • TLDR: How do I watch Election Night coverage from a field in Spain.

    I'm off to a Festival first week of July, it's called Nowhere partly because it's in a very rural area of Northern Spain, it's a dusty field. That little shit sunak has of course fucked up on long anticipated night of joy by being a prick and having election day when I'm on me holls, wanker! Private Jet Wanker!

    Being the Politico I am, I don't want to miss out on this better than Christmas event. So please help how can this be done? If I were to have a tablet and if I could find Wifi (?) could I steam one of the British TV stations, is this realistic or laughable? I'm not very technally minded with this sort of stuff. Any all thoughts, ideas suggestions are welcomed. World Service on Short Wave, Radio 4 on Long wave? Satelite telly? There is some budget for kit than must be able to be carried in and out.

    Nowhere is a Bucket List thing but so is this election night seein the tories getting super fucked up. Please can someone have a brillant idea to make this happen.

  • You will probably be able to pickup Freesat but you will need a larger dish, perhaps 100cm. Might be awkward to build a temporary setup.

    iPlayer is geo restricted. It sure if there will be a global stream on bbc.com for the election.

    The well known VPN services are likely to be blocked by the BBC etc.

    I have a VPN server running on my broadband which I can then tunnel traffic to so I can appear as if I'm at home on my normal UK residential broadband. You could set something like that up if you know there will be decent mobile Internet.

    You could connect a DVB (T or S) receiver at home and then make that available remotely via your broadband. I have a mutant51 PVR that I do that with but that is old, something from https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/satellite-and-terrestrial/digital-receivers would probably work depending on what is available at home.

    Is Browsec likely to be one of them? Never known it to be blocked, but if it was I probably wouldn't know what was happening. (I use the free Chrome extension in the UK.)

    I don't have many problems using nord vpn with iplayer and when I do it's usually a case off clearing the cache on the app and signing in again.
