How strange—I was literally just looking for a solution to this since I just got internet in Spain and noticed a new season of The Apprentice on iPlayer. If you can send me an explanation on how you got a server set up in the uk (e.g. with who, cost, etc.) I’d like to organize it so I can watch.
Just google VPN UK and see the number of Companies that offer this service, i subscribe to one have done for about 5 months, now, fast, reliable, and good for BBC, ITV, 4OD and 5 OD,, (you can also use Zatto, which doesnt work quite so well, but is a free service which gives you access to almost all the UK TDT type stations,,, NB Zattoo, is no a VPN service , you will need the VPN to access UK TV online live),,, Low cost reliable in my view with minimum financial risk, (IF you PM me I will by return send you the URL for my service)
On the question of SKY dishes, they arent actually installed as that(SKY DISH) , they are installed as a large satellite dish pointing at Astra2D, what you watch on them is up to you, the only issue you may have is if they are encrypted and then you may be in breach of contract if you buy a subscription purporting to be in the UK and then subsequently use it in Spain etc.
The note below is interesting reading, but as yet not a directive as I understand it.
