Sign up for Netflix in another country and watch in the UK?
I saw Netflix has stopped the "basic" plan in the UK. But it's still available in Europe. Can I use a VPN + European credit card to sign up for that plan, and then just use it in the UK? Or will Netflix block my account or ask me to change to a UK payment method and standard plan?

Hi, I'm buying my niece a tv for her university room. I'm unsure if this will connect to WiFi or will I need a portable aerial. If I need an aerial are these any good these days? I seem to remember years ago they weren't. I'd appreciate any advice, thanks

Sky price increase letter avoiding giving me the actual new price
