If her indoors wants Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Eastenders or any other daily UK soaps try the link below and just type in whatever you are after ( inc date ), normally available by 07:00hrs our time the day after.

Thanks for this, but again it appears to only stream. Currently I download programmes, stick them on a USB and watch on our TV ,usually in the evening or when we feel like it, maybe days later.
This fits our lifestyle OK and in my case I don't think £6 ish a month is bad. Yes, it's only an 11 hour recording time but over the month I probably download around 100 hours worth of UK programmes.I set it up for emmerdale and the BBC 6 o'clock news for the next week and then fill in with the other programmes we want, download them, delete the link and re-use that recording time. Even when we travel I log onto my Filmon account and download to my tablet if it's something we want to watch then rather than wait till we get back home and then download them. My good lady watched emmerdale when we were in Hawaii last year this way! You know what they're like with their soaps!!
As i said, each to their own. I've found a way that suits us, others do it differently but with same result, we get to watch UK TV.

Gave up soaps when Ena Sharples went! It always amazes me what is available for free.It's a French site too. Google lists some downloader options for it.

Stokkevn

Download the 'Kastor All Video Downloader' for free. I put most of my stuff on a USB and then watch things when there is only rubbish on the TV. Kastor seems to download from most sites ( DailyMotion, Vimeo, Google video, YouTube, Yahoo video, Megavidéos, amongst others ), output format pretty well what ever you want.

quiltman

I currently use bigasoft Video Downloader which also seems to download from most sites.
i'll get Kastor and try it as well.I only tend to download from youtube and it works well for that. Thanks for the info though. Have a good weekend.

If you have a decent internet connection(rare here I know!) buy an android box with kodi installed. Can watch all the TV the world has to offer with no need for vpn.

I use UNOTELLY which gives you a DNS number which will work on a home wifi. For an extra charge you can get a VPN which will give you access with an outside network.

I've used iplayer in China, Singapore and India recently with no difficulty.

Raffin

Yes, Brisman, I reported on some trials I had with DNS at the end of a recent thread entitled BBC iPlayer but I really should have done that on Auntie Strikes Back!

Yes, Unotelly is fine - but so is SmartDNS.com and they are 27% cheaper on an annual basis. I've used them for more than a month now and no problems.

Anyway, let's hope we can both continue to be under the radar!

I think you meant smartdnsproxy.com didn't you, Raffin?

Raffin

Yes, I did,.sorry!

Hi All--Try hola unblocker--Free to use and works greeeeeeeeeeeeeeat!--Jimmy

Raffin

Did you try it here in the Philippines, Jimmy? I tried it a year ago and it didn't work well. I seem to remember streaming wasn't good. Aren't there ads too? I recall that reviews of free unblockers at the time rated Cyber Ghost as superior, but I found that a bit complicated to use and oversubscribed.

Reviews normally recommend VPNs or DNS - but I do accept that many of those reviews live off commissions from paid providers of those services and so wouldn't mention free services.

Also, if you look at search results today you will see many pointing out security concerns with Hola. That worries me.... although I am struggling to understand what they are talking about!
SmartDNSproxy is only $35 a year...but if you can save that or more and it does the job, fine!

quiltman

IIRC the problem with Hola is that it can use your 'puter to stream - i.e like a seeder for torrents.The free version is not a true VPN, it uses others 'puters (say in UK) to act as the bridge to give a UK IP. Hola Better Internet Sells Your Bandwidth, Turning Its VPN into a Botnet The paid version is a true VPN.
I stopped using it over a year ago, partly through the security warnings and partly because it kept stuttering. As I rarely stream due to the time difference , Filmon suits our needs, and torrents for some other programmes.

jimmy8

Yes I understand.I only use one dedicated computor for watching TV,mainly UK channels[BBCIplayer and ITV player] so security is not an issue but to date everything works[Im watching ITV player Emmerdale right now]--i also tried tunnelbear which was OK but I can no longer connect[after I paid $65]--Jimmy

I'd be very careful with any "free" VPN. All the adverts and viruses aren't worth the bother and risk just to save a few quid each month. Netflix are going after DNS and VPN services to restrict viewing on a geographical basis and the free ones will probably be the first to fail.
