Hi all we are hoping to be living in North Carolina this summer, I am a huge Eastenders fan, how can I watch it in the USA?

Britbox - allegedly starting in the next few weeks. I think Eastenders and Emmerdale will be on the day after they are shown in the UK.

Britbox.com

Yep, Britbox coming soon(tm).

Till then, iPlayer and a suitable DNS setup.

There are other ways. I know of someone who watches by downloading the torrent four days a week and I know of someone else who has an Amazon FireTV box and Mobdro app and can watch it live (no DVR option though).

Personally, I may or may not represent the above, but I do know that if and when I can get it through a legal subscription (at a reasonable rate), I will go for the Britbox option!

It's also on youtube, normally within minutes of airing.

Oooh I will keep that in mind. I tried looking into this britbox but when I go on the website because I'm in the UK, it says it's not available. I have messaged them on Facebook.

It's not available here either (yet) as it has not launched.

There are multiple other options.

I use www.tunnelbear.com.

$7.99 a month or $4.17 a month if you pay yearly.

It's a really simple interface and easy to use on PC, Mac or mobile devices. I plug my mac into my TV if I want it on the big screen.

Then you can use iPlayer, ITVPlayer, 4OD or Demand5 if you switch it to UK (basically any UK website).

Switch it to Australia and you can use their on demand channels if you want to watch the latest 'Neighbours', 'Home & Away' etc.

I'm guessing Britbox will be more expensive with a limited amount of programmes.
