Well, I wasn't aware that YouTube was geographically restricted in the same way as the on demand TV channels are, eg BBC, Ch4, Ch5, etc, as the link works just fine for me in France.Hi Kevin,
You could always watch The Great Model Railway challenge on You tube - this link is to episode 3 -
Sorry you're having such difficulties Kevin. Can anyone in the UK see it on Youtube?
Never mind, 2 of the 3 layouts weren't that great, but there were certainly some characters there.

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

It gives the following message on the video screen.
Video Unavailable
This video contains content from Chanel 5, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.
To be honest there have been a couple of reasonable layouts so far, and a lot of not so good, and some of the "characters" especially in the first episode came across as way to cocky (polite version) for my liking.
Cheers

I think you need to go to a store that knows what they are selling. There are ways to configure a smart tv so it works with sky, you may need somebody to set it up. Plus interface boxes are available if you want freesat.
Doesn't the UK have internet TV? Our smart Samsung is connected wirelessly to the TV cable box and internet. The former with an add-on transmitter/receiver, the latter as a device.

for members in the UK, but I think I'm repeating myself
Any TV can be connected to a satellite dish with an appropriate box (in my case Freesat), you just need to select the correct input on the TV, e.g. HDM1, or whatever connection you've used to connect the box to the TV.
You don't have to use the inbuilt Freeview of Freesat receivers in the TV.

Hi Ed. Thank you . I am open to any advice? But I have read a lot of “ facts “ about altzimers ? And sitting in the armchair in front of the TV all day doesn’t do one any good. And with the repeats that are broadcast daily that just adds insult to injury.

However, I do watch the news bulletins and there are some good railway, general engineering and history programmes on the Yesterday channel.
There are also some good old comedy programmes that still make me laugh, however many times I've seen them.
