Catch up TV
Hello, does anyone clever know if it's possible to access catch up TV here. iPlayer and netflix are only available in the UK. Could anyone advise a way of accessing UK programmes that we've missed?
Many thanks
Peter Mills

Peter, please be very careful with ANY piece of downloadable software that offers to enable your computer to present a British I.P. address. I have read some real horror stories with one, ExPat Shield, causing major problems resulting in a Windows laptop having to have its hard drive re-formatted.
Best Solution: Sky or Astra Dish with a recorder.

Ex pat shield is full of Adware and TBH its pretty slow too,thats when it does work.
Another route would be to subscribe to a VPN service.
I use this and it works well:

And i think the cost is pretty reasonable too having shoped around on the net.
I can access all the UK on line players and the download stream speed is fast.
Good luck.

We use iportal.me - it costs €50 a year for one computer and you can watch BBC iplayer and channel 4 iplayer really well + lovefilm. Haven't tried netflex as we decided on lovefilm. I see they have added the US to their list as well.
You could always try it for a month for €5 and see how you get on.
They are really quick to respond to problems (within 5 mins!) and we have used them for the last 3 years.

Expatshield works fine for me. I agree that it is full of ads but you can get rid of them by installing Adblock Plus (another free download. I too have read of people getting viruses with it but I suspect they got the viruses elsewhere. The reports are always rather vague.
I do, however run it on Windows XP running on a virtual machine in Linux so if I did get a virus I could just delete the VM and create another

i-portal doesn't have ads and is worth the 50 euros a year in my opinion. the helpline is excellent and i have pointed many of my Clients to iportal without any negative feedback. you can of course also watch a certain ammount of 'live' Tv too.
