A high speed connection enables me to get a regular episode of corrie down onto my PC, onto a thumb drive and watching it within 8 minutes so I don't suppose that's too long to wait.

wouldnt it be illegal though ?

ITV would argue it is illegal but they don't seem to have a very good copyright protection system in place to stop it. ITV get some of their revenue from adverts so maybe they are not that bothered about it as they are getting paid by the ad companies. Unlike the BBC which rely solely on TV licence funding and from worldwide distribution rights selling programmes, DVD's and CD's...so there iplayer system is harder to crack....(at the moment)

I know Hutchie has done an excellent website for setting up your computer for watching UK and worldwide TV but it always seems to cost money one way or another. Now I don't know whether this method has been posted before or whether or not Hutchie has provided this info, if he has then apologies to you mate, but if not I have a way that you can stream ITV 1,2,3,4 programmes for free from anywhere in the world and have been using this method for well over 6 months and it works like a dream. I have posted this info on other forums and have had other members get it to work in under 10 mins, so I thought I would share this information with fellow BE members.

If you visit my website it gives clear step by step guide and all the software needed to set it up, the software is 100% legal and virus free. As mentioned before this is for ITV only so you can watch yesterday's Corrie, Emmerdale or any other programme ITV has aired in the last 30 days, this will not work for ITV live streams and take note of your internet quota as these are streaming progs only you cannot download them so don't watch too many episodes in one go (if a BE member knows of a media player that will allow you to download these programmes then please feel free to name it).

And apologies for calling you Hutchie, I realise now it is Hutch but great site you have all the same...

Sorry I am not computer literate!
