Watching UK tv abroad?

[Tommy182]

I'm currently stuck working in Malaysia at the moment with not a whole lot to keep me entertained. Does anyone know of any sites where I can watch some tv? Iplayer and the like don't work unless you are watching them in the uk

Thanks

Tried tvcatchup ?

 

[Tommy182]

Yep, that won't work over here either

I was just about to say I've tried tvcatchup and it doesn't work out here for me either, you have to be in the UK (and with a full tv licence, of course ).

I've just been waiting til the programs are released on download sites, take it you want to stream live though?

 

[Tommy182]

Yeah streaming live would be a lot better.

use a uk based proxy, thats what i did

Have you got an iPad? Theres an app that streams quite a few channels abroad.
Otherwise a paid VPN service is probably your only hope.

VPN's don't work with TvCatchup

Love to help, but disconnected the Slingbox a couple of weeks ago.

Use my expat or something when I was in India, gives you a uk based IP address, worked perfectly

Andy, I have my ipad with me, whats the name of the apps?

 

[Andy.]

"Filmon free tv". It's got most uk channels and is free. I've used it with the hdmi cable to my tv and its still decent quality. Free too!

 

[Kane.]

Cheers, great app. Better than the ones I've paid for

I'd love to be able to view a match of the day repeat over here in Australia. Movie collection FTW

Yes you can we have been while living in Greece for the last 5 years, try s4uvpnsurfer.com , no problems works great and have the best choice of servers for all needs and there prices are just great, my wife watches her soaps and i watch my top gear etc both at the sametime, worth a look buddy.

Use JustUnblock, works great for BBC, Channel 4, iTV abroad

I tried using the expat shield for a few months but not long ago they switched the BBC off on it and to be honest it left me with a load of tool bars that I didn't want. I'm now on Laptop Telly which seems to be doing the job well enough. I can watch BBC One and ITV live on it without it stopping which is good enough for me at the moment. http://www.laptoptelly.com
