    What are the best available TV players around in the world, without getting into the whole VPN discussion but if you use vpn for security it would be of use to you. I'm sure there's some great TV shows available and sporting events that are free to view to people in there respected countries.

    Here's a list of some that I've put together.

    Ireland
    RTE player
    TV3 Player

    UK
    BBC Player
    ITV Player
    4OD
    5 Demand

    Australia
    ABC iview
    Channel Ten
    Plus7 catch up

    United States
    Hulu
    FOX

    France
    PlayTv.fr

    Spain
    rtve.es

    If anyone can recommend more, that would be great, not poor streams but genuine players .

    Totally unrelated to any dodgy phone-in quiz shows run by shady Hungarians, I trust... :o:D;)


    To get back on topic, German players include RTL Now, Sat.1, Pro7 and ZDF Mediathek.

    Came across a really good site which summarises the live/catchup offerings around the world earlier. Gives a good indication of what is available.

    I use Sky Go a lot, mainly to catch the HBO/AMC content. In fairness, Sky have improved in broadcasting shows closer to their US schedule, so can be a good source. Plus they've quite a few box sets that they update each month, so quite good for new and old HBO shows.

    PBS in the states is quite good too, they've some great documentaries worth watching.

    Worth keeping an eye on Amazon too, for their latest pilots being released that doesn't require a Prime account.
