Later in the year I'm going to be out of the UK, but would like to still be able to access 4OD and the BBC iPlayer. As I understand it, you need to have a UK IP address to access these service. Is there a way for me to still be able to access them from outside the UK? Like, fooling them I'm in the UK or something (I feel like a dumb shit even asking this, it's the sort of thing I should know
 )?

@Tootle, I have UK freeview on my TV right now in Tenerife via slingbox. Is that not an option for you?

Hi T sorry I sould have made it clear I will be permently out of the UK. That slingbox needs to have a base in the UK doesn't it?
Anyway, I don't really want to spend money getting at UK TV programming, because I don't watch that much. I just want to have the option to get at special events, such as sport and news and documentaries etc. I download most of what I watch anyway these days, but sometimes it's just easer to use the iPlayer. |

Is there no way that you could use logmein or some other sort of similar app / remote connection, to log into a UK based PC and channel it via that maybe

A VPS costs not so much anymore, find one in the UK and make it a personal VPN or proxy.

Is the person hosting the box experiencing any bandwidth issues? I looked into it for our folks in Playa San Juan but always thought my excessive upload and downloads would kill it stone dead. |

QUOTE (eazbak @ Apr 22 2008, 03:15 PM) Hows that working out? Is the person hosting the box experiencing any bandwidth issues? It's watchable down to about 90-100kb/s. Full UK upload would be 250kb/s of course. The UK box/connection is only used for Slingplayer & a webcam (I pay for it)I looked into it for our folks in Playa San Juan but always thought my excessive upload and downloads would kill it stone dead.
