Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I have been on the forum since moving to Norway
But now I have a problem and I'm hoping that you guys have come across it before.
For the last 8 years I have been watching UK tv in Norway with Sky and and an ever increasing in size satellite dish in order to combat Astra's decreasing footprint over Europe! However I have a new house now and there are mountains in the way....no dish is getting through those! I have been forced to switch to a network of Roku boxes around the house all channeled through a VPN to watch Iplayer and itv hub etc etc but its getting to be a pain in the ass now with the Netflix proxy blocking and Iplayer throwing a wobbly every other day! But, I was wondering if I could install a Virgin Tivo box that is registered as a second box in my mum's house in the UK in my home here in Norway. My IT Guru here at work says that it would be possible if i were to use two of these.
MikroTik RouterBoard RB2011iL-IN Broadband Router (RouterOS Level 4)
He says that these would create an OVPN connection so it would look like the box that i bring back to Norway was still at my mum's in the UK.
He is confident in creating the network for me with these devices but as he dosn't have any experience with UK Tivo boxes and their connections I thought I would ask here about it before i spend time and money on this.
As always thanks for any input you can give.
