If you’ve tried watching the BBC Iplayer online then you may have found out that you get blocked accessing Iplayer outside the UK. So do you want to know how they stop you??

Well it’s simply because of your IP address. The BBC IPlayer detects what your IP address is and then checks if this range is inside or outside the UK. If it’s UK based your in luck and the BBC Iplayer will work. If your IP address is in another country tough.

So outside the UK BBC IPlayer and all UK TV are blocked ?

But all is not lost, there are ways to Watch UK TV. All you need do is ensure that your connection has a UK address. If you have some technical knowledge, the best free route is to go through your own UK pc.

Leave on a PC at home in UK and connect via SSH or VPN tunnel. This creates a little encrypted tunnel between two computers , in my case it was my laptop and my LInux server at home.

Have a look at a program called Putty, it can connect to windows or linux.

Then redirected your browser to use a local proxy connected through this SSH tunnel. It’s not that difficult to do, and you won’t get blocked. I had major problems with performance though.

My connection struggled to relay the video through my home server and frankly the service was unusable. Remember the upload speed on your UK side is the key to making this work. The other option that people can use to watch BBC Iplayer and UK TV is to use a slingbox, but again my poor UK connection speed made that unusable, might be good for many people though.

So I moved to the private TV proxy services, and at first that worked well, you get a private proxy to watch TV for in exchange for a small fee. The BBC target the TV proxy companies and you’ll figure out what they do ? The BBC legal department threaten and complain to the ISPs and hosting companies, next thing you know their website disappears.

I finally settled for a program which delivered BBC Iplayer through a secure network of private proxies, it has a software front end, support teams and is not marketed in any way as a TV proxy program. It works a treat!
