A bit late but a good one in Auch, called Everest Indian.

Hmmm, getting the MAC address a great idea. This is the unique identifer of thre PC, so in case they do some thing wrong, you can point this out to the HADOPI guys, in case they come looking.

I would run a cable (rj45 cable) from the neuf box to the gite and connect a expansion box,( with like 5 ports) which will allow more rj45 ports... to allow renters to use in the gite

Also conside Leclerc. They have a SIM card for as little as 1.50 per month and then you pay for talk time as required and the credit is good for up to one year...just as good a prepaid, but with one year shelf life. I use one in mycar, since it has a built in phone...never a problem.

working for black money is quite normal, but ask for a bigger discount, say 150-200 !!However, remember if anything goes wrong, you're out of luck if you wnat to appeal to some french authority....you have to rely on the word that the worker will come back to fix it...normally its ok, but if an insurance claim is involved, then its gets tricky...

If the floor moves/bounces at all, then so will the tile, then crack. Large tiles will crack faster than smaller tiles...but to do it right pull up the wood floor and pour cement or use a cement type of floor board. Or build up the floor to make a step into the bathroom ??

I use a service from: noirvpn dot comThey have 4 servers, usa, canada, france and germany...all for 5 euro a month.It works for me. Tell which show you want (link etc) and I test it for you with my usa account to see if it works.

ok, its clear, merci

thanks pachapapa, but I may need to know this. We have a home in the country, with speptic tank and other water that runs off into the field/hill behind us. IN the last 10 years nobody has been by to check or ask anything....but I suspect we may need to change things.Any possibilty that I can get a condensed version of what needs to be done or a place/site I can check out what needs to be done, in english, if possible.

[quote user="Martin963"][quote user="rastus"]Instead of moving the dish and thus losing Sky can you fit a dual head LNB with a separate downlead.[/quote] they come in 6 deg (as I said above) or occasionally 3 deg separations, but I don't think anyone has come up with a 9 deg one. Maybe a hole in the market there...?[/quote]actually you can get a bracket that will hold the monoblock and a single lnb, or even 3-5 individual lnb on the special bracket...but at this point is cheaper to get a motorized dish. I use one and works great, the sky is open to me..
-
What I do is contact my home bank and ask them to wire money over to my bank here, also CA. I give them all the details required.Normally I need to fax them a letter for this or just send a letter in the mail asking for it...it can't be done by email, due to security issues..
-
Sorry for being out of the loop here....what does all this mean??
-
correct as mentioned already...new PC's should be fully activated with either XP or Win 7 normally, unless you get some old stock!You may find some that have say XP and a trail copy of Win 7 in the box...so for this you will need to get a wincracker program that makes it real...really easy to do, but not sure if we can post these types of things here.

"Most people reading this thread do not want to hide their IP address unless it is to watch UK TV using iPlayer. Your post indicated that the service you subscribe to would do just that otherwise why would you post on a thread specific to "BBC iplayer in France", unless of course you have an interest in the company?"I may have gotten ahead of myself, since other's were talking about vpn already. I do live in france, but am not english nor french and do not know much about iPlayer and just assummed that the vpn account I use would work. I guess not, so sorry if I made some mistake on judgement. It works for everything else I use, but it needs a uk address.

[quote user="Quillan"]The why post your comments in a thread about getting the BBC and ITV on the Internet in France when clearly, by your own admission, nothing to do with it. Are you sure you don't work for them? [;-)][/quote]Sorry Quillan, I was just putting out info...since other posters before me were talking about vpn. Since I use a vpn account, I though it might clear up some questions here, but the poster, with 3 posts to his name clearly has an issue here....don't know what I said to get that poster going. I'm just a simple user. So as mentioned, certain sat boxs will clear many channels including the ones mentioned already. I can about this for hours, but I suspect that I'll get beaten up if I do.I guess next time, I'll keep quite.

I'll pull out the tax form papers again soon, but if you declare your portion, which will be 29% of the total income, this is what you will pay tax on. The other side (71%) goes to expenses, so if you have heavy start up costs or repairs, then , well too bad...however, if you have good year non-expense wise, then better for you...

[quote user="Quillan"]I am led to believe that the company you mention does not have a vpn server in the UK and therefore does not work with IPlayer. What the site is designed to do is hide your IP address for things like downloading music and video's. If you pay up and use this site to try and watch UK TV over the internet you will be disappointed. I am also led to believe that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to get a refund once you have found this out. Other than that, if you read the website front page it does exactly what it say's.[/quote]Did I say that noirvpn has a server in the UK that gives a IP from the UK? Sorry, but why pick on me? Not really part of the first post here either, so we go off topic. However, the use of a vpn account offers much more security verus a proxy account, if you care to understand the difference. A proxy can be traced, while a vpn can't be traced.If you want to watch UK TV, then you need a proper sat box, one which will pull in signals from uncle Rup. This is not what vpn does, but is what MY sat box does.Refund, who does that anyway these days. I read the rules, its clear so I asked all the questions first , B4 I joined. Ask first, then pay for what you get, seems to be the general rule of life.The site does what it says on the wrapper, offer protection! No issue from my side.

[quote user="hautepy"]Stella's claim in this, and another thread ref. BBC iplayer, that they use noirvpn for access, is untrue. If you open an account with them you then discover that they don't have a UK server, which prevents you from accessing iplayer -despite their site claiming to unblock ALL websites and services. I'm trying for a refund but not holding out much hope.[/quote]Not wanting to get into a tit for tat chat, but I would think if you read the site info it tells you which countries you will get an IP from and considereing that BBC iPlayer is only avialable to residents of the UK, unless you use an UK ip addy, then you will be out of luck. Did you do your homework first? Did you ask about this first? I feel the service from noirvpn is top notch, for my use anyway. Hmmm to me, a strange comment from such a new poster, unless you have some other issue to hide....I would suggest that you go for a higher priced vpn account, which icludes a IP from the UK or go for a Spiderbox, which is a linux based stb, that I beleive hacks the package....but this is not the forum for this type of conversation....

when we set up our gite, the tax guy told us to declare the 29% since 71% is off for expenses and to not bother with the AE....just declare the income at tax time..
-
We had a Livebox for a short time, but got fed up with it...now we use a Netgear router and connect to the interent this way...for TV we use linux based box, called a Spiderbox, that can pull in what I can't talk about here....but you would be amazed at what it can do...

Marciac is not a bad place...we live 30 minutes north of marciac and love it...just that much bigger, if you need to worry about stuff like that

My french neighbour here in SW has never changed his pool water in the last 10 years I have been next to him....never asked him, but I suspect he has never changed it...

if you want to be safe while using the interent, the the only way I know of this is by using a vpn account. I use a site for this, works great, ask me, if you want to know more!
