    There's an interesting article on the ever-helpful MakeUseOf site about receiving UK and other foreign TV, where you will usually get the message “Sorry, you can’t view this content in your country”

    http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/access-bbc-iplayer-online-video-internationally-free/

    You have probably heard of some of the methods (ExpatShield etc.) but I did not know about all of them.

    I like the idea she suggests at the end:
    Mix It Up For Free BBC iPlayer Access
    So, you’ve tried all these services and you want to keep your access free? Here’s a plan of attack: Use Tunlr, ExpatShield, a VPN or a proxy in order to download your BBC iPlayer shows. You could choose “Series Record” for all your favourite shows and leave the computer downloading them all while you’re busy elsewhere.
    Then when you want to watch your shows and authenticate iPlayer, use TunnelBear to quickly switch you to a UK IP address while you watch. To keep TunnelBear free, ensure that you’re not using any data while you’re watching.
