Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

I know how to use torrents but it's just a lot more hassle, downloading it, keeping your ratio, etc. Fine if you are cheap or can't afford a few bucks, but I'll stick with the convenience of iPlayer with it's nice user interface.

I don't mind paying for good content, roll on the BBC doing this properly.

Which service do you use?

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

I pay for a VPN. consult-here - costs me $25 a quarter. I will admit to being deliberately provocative in that post (I do use torrents quite a lot for anime and older tv such as the sweeney).

I actually watch stuff through my TV and I like the convenience and ease of the iPlayer app and $9 month isn't a lot compared to what I have to pay those crooks at shaw in the first place.

FilmOn is still providing good quality streaming of BBC 1 & 2, ITV 1,2,3 & (maybe) 4, C4, Film 4 and C5.

Still free. Had it since May last year.

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

Just downloaded filmon, and it looks really good.

For me personally, streaming live TV when we're 7hrs behind isnt always going to be practical though....

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

True enough. 4 hours for me. I don't use it that much though. Match of the Day at 6.30 on a Saturday evening is quite good as a supplement to watching some of the games earlier. Should be useful for Rugby Internationals too.

I've seen England games on ITV instead of PPV.

I also watched the Doctor Who two-parter live too.

Although there is a 'log on' box, you can select 'skip' and watch without signing on. Occasionally it may show as scrambled but the 'low speed' option works just as well. On the rare occasion it has said scrambled for BBC, the slow option has always worked.

Hi, how do you do this?

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

I use I player to listen to the radio. I have attempted to use UK Nova to watch the tv programmes but am to much of a thicky to figure it out:o:unsure:

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

Not really. There are some good programmes produced by the BBC.

I think it is great that you can catch up with British TV on the Internet.

Hehe I have been listening to Canadian radio stations online (I have discovered some great rock stations)

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

Ive just down loaded filmon and it only lets me watch a few minitues of tv and then its goes black, anyone else out there with this problem??:confused:

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

Yes, because they want you to buy the service.

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

You have a 'thing' about this don't you. :rofl:

I'm quite sure I'm not the only one still getting it free since last May!! :thumbup:

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

For those of you using a proxy, how do you find the speed for things like BBC iPlayer? Is it close to expected speeds?

Re: Can we get BBC iplayer
 

Hi i subscribe to uk proxy and got a vpn address so can download most uk i players, had to up my internet speed with shaw, picture is usually quite good, though can be a little out of sync at times, watched the start of dancing on ice at weekend, am able to watch tv at the times i want too which is great.

Hope this helps:)
