Watching BBC iPlayer outside the UK

[Snake eyeS]

Anyone able to watch iPlayer outside the UK? Few shows I dont want to miss, but im in Singapore. I guess its to do with IP or proxy settings? Strangely it worked in the office today, perhaps because i was linked to a UK server? Not sure.. but any help would be bonza

I use a VPN server with these guys: https://my-private-network.co.uk/bbc?gclid=CMWQ4cq...

I reckon £5 a month is good value and the support is excellent. No contract so you cancel easily.

Is that just for watching that channel live? or can you watch programs that have alreay been on?

Would - www.hidemyass.com work?

I used XROXY.COM when I was in Greece last time to watch BBC iPlayer. Worked perfectly fine, but didn't work for www.tvcatchup.com which I was hoping it would.

I think iPlayer is all stuff that has been on, not live. I've only watched previously broadcast programmes on all the main UK terrestrial channels. Sky broadcasts some programmes live online but I haven't tried watching yet.

For live tv use www.tvcatchup.com free and very good service, but as said above I couldn't get it to work through a proxy in the quick go I had abroad, but I can't see why it shouldn't work through a VPN.

Thanks for this - I just tried it and it doesn't work. I get an error message preventing the connection so I'm in touch with my provider to see it there's a work around. Be great if I can get it working.

My VPN provider has come back and told me I can't get tvcatchup to work as they block VPN servers - not just theirs but all VPN providers. However, zatoo.com streams all the free to air channels live and it works a charm - woohoo!

Just tried www.zatoo.com and it looks like a holding page, how do you get that?
