Hi all. New to this site. I am in the process of being offered a job in Canada (Montreal) and taking my family. My 11 year old daughter will want to know that Easterders, Holby and Dr Who etc will all be on her telly when she switches it in. Can this be done with satelite / cable connections?

My 9 yo is the same, see this thread... Can I get BBC iplayer

Thanks TJ. So the best thing to do is get a TV with the internet on it. That will cheer her up!! (when I tell her that is!!).

There's a number of websites that have UK TV torrents on them which are updated very regularly. The three I use are:
thebox.bz
uknova.com
tvchaosuk.com

The latter is fairly new I think, and whilst a little more difficult to navigate, has a ton of torrents.

Doctor who is on Space, seen at a very quick glance Eastenders as well as Coronation Street (didn't watch them in the UK and no intentions on watching them over here) Holby I haven't seen

Torrent you say? I hope you aren't using torrents, as it's so yesterday.

Downloading isnt illegal in Canada. If the US thinks they have jurisdiction here, good to luck to 'em.

Downloading a torrent pretty much always involves some uploading of that content - even if you hit and run. Though the case ultrarunner refers to seems speculative and is probably more to do with frightening people than anything else; not that he's one to talk about copyright infringement.

To the OP, there are various ways to get UK TV. None of them are strictly legal. I pay for a VPN service and use iPlayer on a PC I've got sat under my TV. Some people use expatsheild, which is free but requires an installed app which I don't like. Others use torrents, and it's unlikely that anyone is going to come after you for torrenting coronation street.

The BBC are supposedly going to issue an international version of iPlayer soon and as soon as they provide that service I'll be using it.

Guys thanks for the advice. Its the little things that cause the issues!! No doubt the job offer will come and the rest of it will fall into line.

It seems speculative because........?

Alan2005

Because chasing after people who's IP's are logged isn't proof of downloading. A company tried the same thing in the UK and eventually it got thrown out of court and said company went bankrupt. Not to say that the exact same thing will happen here - but it's possible, which is good news for people like you that like stealing.

ultrarunner

So it's not speculative then as you mentioned initially, especially when they got videotron, bell et al to reveal the IPs

It's worked in the US, and we all know this country bows to demands from the US most of the time.

People that use torrent deserve to be charged

Alan2005

An IP address proves nothing. But whatever, I don't actually care one way or the other.

I'd really love to know what insane reason you have for this given that you seem to steal most of what you watch, read, or listen to.
