Offers and Great Deals

• Watch UK TV Abroad for just £6.49 per month

  If you live in Cyprus, you may well have become frustrated at not being able to watch your favourite soap or your favourite sports team playing in a crucial game. With Sky, along with the main BBC and ITV channels no longer available to many, the solution lies in watching TV over the internet.

  And that's also great if you are travelling or on holiday and don't want to miss your favourite show.

  I signed up with Watch UK TV Abroad last month to watch the Lions tour of Australia when the signal kept failing on our satellite channel. They set you up with a UK ISP address which lets you watch all the BBC and ITV channels together with US channels too if you want them.

  If you want to watch sports events exclusive to Sky along with the latest films, you can also sign up to Sky Go through Watch UK TV Abroad for just £13.50 per month which is WAY cheaper than a monthly subscription to the full Sky package.

  All you need is a fast internet connection over 2 MBPS to stop any buffering and you can happily watch what you want when you want it. It's completely flexible too as you pay by the month so you can cancel at any time and the most you would lose is a month's payment. Their support is also incredibly helpful as I had a few problems setting it up - I'm so NOT a techie!

  Check out Watch UK TV Abroad now to see if it works for you, whether you live here or just want to watch Eastenders or the footie on your tablet or iPad while on holiday.

Latest Weather in Polis and Latchi

It's August and it's HOT, although so far, the summer has been "relatively" mild in the sense that we haven't yet had any 40 degree days with unbearable humidity. Yes it's been in the late 30's some days but the air has been dry. Just take care to stay out of full sun in the middle of the day if you are coming over in the next 4 weeks.
