jase_dean Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hi, what do you mean by provider? Are you talking about a VPN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-c Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 We vaguely thought about this before we got here. Once we got here realised we were doing so much other stuff didn't miss it. Some people use expat tv.com and a few others. Technically some say illegal as you still need a UK tv licence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 On Terrestrial (free to air TV) ABC show quite a few UK sourced TV programs On Pay TV (Foxtel), you've got dedicated uk channels like UKTV, BBC Knowledge, BBC news etc then UK sport on skysports & eurosport If you've got an ipad or android device, then you could connect that to the TV and subscribe to BBC iPlayer (International version) for around $10pm, lots of content on there. On pc, you can can you a browser extension like 'Hola Unblocker' or a vpn which will allow you to use the UK version of BBc iplayer, Ch4 on demand etc, although a lot will depend on the speed of your broadband connection.

phil Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Most popular BBC shows tend to come to ABC about 12 months later. But BBC have changed the deal for next year and it's likely a lot will be going to Foxtel instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
