If you have a good internet connection ,download the Torch browser.
It's basically Chrome with some add ons.
One is Halo - an inbuilt VPN which allows you to stream BBC/ITV as if you are in the UK.
It also has a built in video recorder so you can download virtually any video from websites or youTube.It also has a built in torrent downloader.
I use it here in the Philippines to obtain programmes that I cannot get by other means.

HTH

Media hint seems to work better for me on google chrome than Firefox. Occasionally I have to clear my cache and browser history .

What's your time difference? Are you looking at live viewing?
Same day or do you mind waiting? What are you looking to watch?

There are a ton of sites that will enable you to watch stuff a few hours after the UK broadcast with no fees, no registering, no gadgets needed.

True. I watch a lot of stuff via sites like warchseries. You just need to work our which play button to press so that you don't get spammed !

And accept that just because it's listed doesn't mean it's there. Although there's more than I can cope with. :blink:

Not sure what you mean by the spamming thing.
:confused:

HTH

+1 except I think you meant Hola (not Halo). Also you don't have to use Torch. I use the Hola extension with Chrome. I think it's available for other browsers.

Some times the link shows up and there are 3 play buttons or download buttons .. Press the wrong one and a new window pops up with russian sex workers or maybe a crap music video !

Or is that just on mine ??? Lol
