Redrover 30 Posted March 7, 2013 Do pay TV services in Oz offer access to UK TV (eg foxtel)? I appreciate its better to forget the UK when we move out and immerse ourselves in Aus life, but just wondering if its possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1Perth 4,811 Posted March 7, 2013 Foxtel has a lot of UK TV on it. We have it but really only use it to watch sport. The other channels are full of dross (UK or not) and we tend to watch the local free to air most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 507 Posted March 7, 2013 Yep, UKTV plus vast majority of stuff on ABC (free to air) is BBC stuff too, and some of the stuff on SBS is UK stuff. In fact, I don't think there's a day when you can't find an episode of QI to watch somewhere or other here!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwolst77 10 Posted March 8, 2013 Copied this from a previous post regarding watching UK TV... I am sure everyone is aware of this who has sought no fuss UK/US TV through Iplayer/4OD/ITV Player and more US shows that you can shake a stick at. No VPN, through your browser direct (watch bandwidth though, you have been warned - I have 1000gb a month to use) You have to have Google Chrome installed, install the following unblocker. http://hola.org/unblocker.html You have to install it from Chrome. This latest version has been updated this week so you then need to click the american flag, click settings, click media unblocker, and there you have it. Been searching for this since I got here, weather is toss today so why not watch some TV lol. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHANO7 1,394 Posted March 25, 2013 You cannot possibly immerse yourself in Australian TV as its basically very poor. Foxtel is full of dross and the only thing worth watching is old UK tv. The sports is a must if you like proper football. But be careful , Sky One had Game of Thrones, Spartacus and very good US programmes. The equivalent channel is classed as a movie channel which you have to pay extra for. Moving back home 29th March 2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calNgary 8,549 Posted March 25, 2013 We just have the normal freeview TV and you do get quite alot of UK TV shows on there, we find things to watch most nights but weekends can be a bit dire,lol,, but not bad enough to warrant paying for Foxtel or anything IMO. Cal x If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place... If you get a chance,take it, If it changes your life,let it. Nobody said it would be easy they just said it would be worth it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
