    hi guys,

    a family member was on a recent tv program on the bbc, they were not informed when it was going to be on and lo and behold they missed it last monday,
    programs can be watched and downloaded on the bbc website for 1 week after they have been shown, but only to uk residents, does anybody know any way to get this program as i have been at if for an hour or 2 with no joy,

    not sure if i have posted in the correct area, but this area seems to be an all-rounder and lots of helpful information in here,

    any help would be greatly appreciated,

    this is the episode for anyone that might be able to help.

    you could try a private proxy - you'll need to google it


    The BBC content is only licensed in the uk, and they appear to be serious in blocking non-uk addresses.
    The BBC has a list of all broadband IP addresses in the uk. If you are not on this list, you don't get in.
    There are ways to beat the system, and if you have friends in the uk, you can setup a private proxy service on their computer, for the limited access of you or a very few of your friends, you can defeat geotargeting by BBC and ITV and the likes.
    ]Now your friends in the uk would be liable for copyright infringement, for exporting the signal outside the uk, if they ever got caught. Remember, in the uk you need a licence to own a TV, and they actually have TV police that actively drives around in VAN's with detection equipment, looking for illegal TV signals. Really, im serious ! So you see, the British authorities are rather sticky when it comes to their beloved BBC.
