Right you lot, what are the best ways of getting around the silly BBC rules on watching their stuff online when outside the UK? Annoys me I pay 2 lots of licence, yet not allowed to watch the stuff!

You need to pay for decent proxy access - lots of sites online (and threads on PH) to point you in the right direction.

Free proxy access won't give you the bandwidth you need

I can see why they don't allow people outside the UK to watch (as they havne't paid for a licence) but why you can't buy an 'Outside the UK licence' I don't understand, then the OP could (by some means) enter his licence number.

Oh well....

The BBC content I would imagien is restricted in 2 ways

a) for licence hodlers who presumably are UK only

b) they only have the rights for the UK
