Sky did cut off streaming access to their channels outside the UK from Jan 1st, they'll probably have to end all subscriptions using foreign bank/credit accounts soon and ex Pats are already having UK accounts bank and credit terminated under the no passporting agreement.



Well, whatever, nevermind

Not really... ::)

These are people here (and no doubt elsewhere overseas) that pay €10 per month and have a Mag Box. They connect to a server somewhere which has everything - BBC, ITV, Chan4, Sky, beIN Sports, Netflix, Apple TV, etc. All illegal. None of them subscribed to Sky. Brexit really has nothing to do with it.

As for Banks, Barclays shut their overseas accounts years ago (unless you had squillions)... We'd been a customer for 40+ years but the compliance issues are just too complex. They closed our account. Compliance is the nightmare, Brexit is a side show, nothing more.

Other options are available, it really isn't an issue...  ;)

Mag boxes may be illegal however Amazon of course will sell you one.

What they can't offer is UK registered bank accounts to EU resident customers.  Loads and loads of accounts have been closed over the last months, complaints to financial problem pages etc.  Boris doesn't mind, his rich friends all have Swiss accounts anyway and will just pay what it takes to watch the football.

I wouldn't want to be an ex Pat in France found using a Mag Box, not all countries want ex Pats
Well, whatever, nevermind

Unless you have loadsamunny in which case they can... Compliance is worth it you see...  ;)

Mostly compliance issues... why hold a bank account and jump through all those compliance hoops for a UK pensioner...?

No, I'm sure they find their UK savings and pensions beings spent on property and local businesses abhorrent... ::)

Some countries see the sense in that, some less so

In a statement on Monday, Iberia said that on 1 January, it received an email from the border police saying that registration as a European citizen was no longer considered to be a valid document to prove legal residency in Spain as a British citizen.

However, by 19:30 on 2 January, the airline received a second email, confirming that the document could be used if it had not expired.

"The Spanish Embassy in London has re-confirmed today that both the green residence certificate and the new residence TIE card [Photo-ID card] are equally valid in terms of proving residence in Spain, as set out in the [Brexit] Withdrawal Agreement."

More 'cock up' than policy methinks...  ;)
