Not being a terribly technical person I am wondering if the collective have any experience of this in France. I don't think it could work for me here since we have but 1.5 MB speed and no way to upgrade it. But I hope you'll tell me otherwise.

Whilst it may work technically I think it will not work due to Sky recognising your ISP as French.
Just the same with BBC iPlayer not allowed outside UK, unless you have a fixed ISP
It's all about copyright infringement.

As said above, it is not legal, but then neither is watching the BBC via FreeSat

It's not illegal per de, just contrary to Sky's T&C's which is not quite the same thing wink
