I tried the free ones but didn't find them as reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromney Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I tried UnoTelly, it works but can be a pain to set up as once you set it up you can't get your on demand local channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob dc Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 PureVPN is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a secure and reliable VPN Provider. We would Recommend PureVPN for most users, especially if your main usage is browsing, video/music streaming (such as Netflix, BBC iPlayer) or traveling internationally. If you had the sense to word your reply differently it wouldn't be quite so obvious that it's an advert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is this legal? I thought you had to be a UK resident with a TV licence to use BBC iPlayer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, if you try it tells you you can't VPN seems a grey area You tube has lots of UK program's if you're desperate Not bothered any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use it much anymore as I love Australian TV so much :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 As regards not being legal- we live here not there. Why should their silly licenses apply to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernbird Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Is this legal? I thought you had to be a UK resident with a TV licence to use BBC iPlayer? It's a bit of a legal loophole because you do not need a tv licence if you do not own a TV. Many people these days do not own a TV and watch TV on catchup via the many channels different services iPlayer, ITV Player and 4oD solely on their computer.

MARYROSE02 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Foxtel seems to show plenty of Pommie shows, including a dedicated channel - 'UK TV', plus plenty of lifestyle shows, although I don't have that package any more. I do get some of the old shows on 'Fox Classics', and Sky News UK overnight from 0030. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasepom Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 My advice is to forget about UK TV you're in Australia now. But if you must watch them it's easier to download the shows for those 'must watch only-available in uk' shows. You'll need a Peer2Peer client like Azure and then you can find them on a sharing site such as utorrent. Using VPN is also good if you can stream. The only Uk tv show that I actually missed enough to go to the trouble of downloading it was 'I'm a celebrity get me out if here'. Lots of Uk shows make it to freetoair TV here. Thinking of :- Downton Abbey Bargain Hunt Top Gear Doctor Who What exactly does she miss ? Lifestyle shows are plentiful here and you can get into your backyard blitz.
