Hola, another way to watch BBC and ITV

Better in Chrome. I needed to sign-in to my gmail account to get the extension to install in Chrome. You can use Firefox, but less accessibility.
Couldn't get the Hola program to install on my win7.

- hulu.com
- netflix.com
- pandora.com
on Chrome you can get
- hulu.com
- netflix.com
- pandora.com
- bbc.co.uk/iplayer
- itv.com/itvplayer
- cbs.com
- fox.com
I've downloaded Chrome and will just use it for accessing uk-tv.
Thanks so much OP for the update! I'm now enjoying free bbc. yawwhhhhhhh

Chrome extension working well here, thanks. 
The Win XP version was no worky for me, it would install but iPlayer was still blocked and it wouldn't let me browse any BBC site.

Check out 'Astrill', I am using it with 'Netflix', it's perfect here in Sydney!
You could also try the free 'Expat Shield', but I prefer 'Astrill'.

Unlike Astrill and Expat Shield, Hola is free.

Wow - so easy to do. I clicked on the link for the Chrome extension and then went to bbc iplayer and was able to watch an episode of my favourite drama!
Thanks

Re: Hola, another way to watch BBC and ITV
Did you install the Chrome Hola AddIn from http://hola.org/unblocker.html ? One the AddIn is installed you shouldn't any more messages about region from ITV/BBC
Unlike Astrill and Expat Shield, Hola is free.

Afraid you are mistaken about Expat Shield, it is free!
There is also another way to watch and record most U.K. Progs (More4, chanel5, ITV & BBC etc.) and that is to use 'FilmOn HD'. You can pay monthly or annually,
& no need to hide your location! You can try out their free standard definition (poor picture and no record) version and check out what's on offer.
