there are plenty of things to do when it is dark, have you tried reading a book, gone for a walk, met your friends for a drink (alcoholic or not.)

So you suggest that we should keep our kids up late and trail them round the streets then. Wouldn't they be a bit tired for school the next day?.

I read books too, don't go the pub as I have young kids and no babysitters. During the week when people have to be in bed early for school and work we sit and watch TV. You told people to go get a life. To some watching TV is part of life, even if it isn't part of yours. My husband and I sat and watched TV from about 9 last night all downloaded from the UK, after we had spent the day doing other things.

I didn't just mean the pub. I meant either go to friends places, or have them around, for instance. It is nice and relaxing sitting on the deck having a chat with friends.

And rather than insult me, you could have just said that some people have kids and it is not practical. As someone without kids, I sometimes forget about those practicalities.

I hate TV at the best of times, but it just seems weird to me that people move to new countries, but cannot let go of the old one.

we do that on a weekend but on a week night it isn't practical. Watching TV from 'home' helps keep a lot of people happy and settled. You may find that rather sad but it does help some people.

I apologise for the twit comment but I found the 'get a life' line quite insulting.

I agree...my wife was just starting to miss a few things. Seeing her happily watching Corrie and UK X-Factor is great.

Just because you hate TV that doesn't mean that everyone does. We enjoy downloading the UK TV programs and watching them at night time. Certainly doesn't mean we don't have a life as we go out loads at the weekend

The "Trick" being able to download shows from the 4OnDemand and BBC service, from Australia. This should fool the relevant sites into believing that the person signing up is in the UK when they are in fact in Australia.

I have tried this on a US site and it worked for me.

Maybe someone in Oz could try it and let us know how they get on?

Um, pardon me for saying, but if you "hate TV at the best of times" why are you replying on a post about downloading UK TV? And no, I'm being insulting, just ironic.....
