UK TV. Help Please
 

Hi All, I am sure this has been asked before, what is the easiest way to view UK TV here, I have look online and there is a site call identity cloaker, has anyone used this site, and would they recommend it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Have a search of the board and you will find tons and tons of threads on it. :)

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

But the search function is misfiring . . .try media hint , uno telly.

Am sure others will be along soon to provide their versions too :)

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

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

Read Sue's post, it tells you how to search using Google. http://britishexpats.com/forum/annou...php?f=98&a=102

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

I dont need to use it thanks. :confused:

Its just as easy to be friendly to the OP and let them know what we are using. :)

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Unblock US.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Thanks for the info, it seems whatever site I use , nothing seems to work ,I am def doing something wrong

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

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

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

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.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

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 !

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

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:

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

+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.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

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

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

It is.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Try TVchaos UK, works great for us. The only Canadian telly we watch is the news and hockey!

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

I don't get that. At least not without searching. :rofl::rofl:
Maybe adblocker or something similar stops it.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Another vote for unblock US. It let me watch the last UK series of Masterchef, yay! :-)

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

No its not just you, i hate the site it really does try its best to spam you into downloading special video downloaders or other odd stuff. All the time you are searching there is a playboy TV ad running (ok that doesn't bother me, lol)

There is now a way to get Media hint to work free. It involves installing the older version that's not updateable. I now have everything working as before. :D

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Watchseries.to? Nothing like that for me. Works as well as when I first came across it.
Is this with chrome? Still free on Firefox.

The BBC 'problem' seems to be solved by selecting watch in HD.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Actually it wasn't the .to one i was using but even trying that i get constant poker or similar ads, and everytime you select a link it offers you to download and install some video player. I know it does work but seems to be full of ads and stuff you don't need.

Yes it was Chrome as Media hint is no longer free since a month or so now

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

If you use expat shield you can go directly to BBC iplayer and download using their BBC desktop player function. Then you dont have to deal with buffering. Media hint is charging now, the dirty basstads (Catherine Tate).

Got back from London yesterday. Managed not to watch a thing while there apart from the bottom of empty beer glasses :)

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

I didnt realise it was still working on my FF. Probably explains a bit of bufferin I been sufferin recently causing conflict between mediahint and hola. Thanks!

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

I have paid about £20 for a years unlimited data using Tunnel Bear on my iPad, and I can use iPlayer, itv, 4OD, demand 5 - streaming and download. The only thing I can't make work is the TV catchup app.

The Tunnel Bear VPN seems a whole lot more reliable than Expat Shield, but for a freebie Expat Shield isn't bad!! Managed to get some (terrestrial broadcast) rugby games on it when necessary!!

Any help?

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

I just don't get stuff like that. Maybe adblock plus stops it.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

You complaining for getting free Russian TV? :)

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Possibly as i don't have any special ad block programs running

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Try www.proxyplayer.co.uk
I use them monthly...

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Just curious as to why people are paying for stuff when the Hola browser plug in is free? I watch BBC iPlayer etc and don't pay anything. Am I missing something?

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

We use unotelly, pay $40/year for it.

It's always on, and it's set at the router level, so any electronic device at home (computer, phone, tablet, etc) all connect via unotelly.

It also lets you set up specific sites for specific counties. So when I go to BBC, I show as from the UK. When I go to Netflix, I show as from the US. I don't have to turn anything on or off, it just does it. No ads, no fuss, no changing anything, it just works. :)

$40/year for that service... yeah whatever, I can get on board with that. :)

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Maybe not heard of it. I can't say I've seen it mentioned before and I just did a search in the Canada section and all I found was a Spanish Hola. :rofl:

Also, I think some were happy with what they got on free trials and then paid up and just don't want to risk changing what works.

Doubtless others find it hard to believe there are reliable free options.

MediaHint is still working great for me and still free.

But i just added Hola, although I have disabled it just in case both of them together mess something up.

It's nice to have something in reserve.

Of course, not everything works for everyone. I never got Expat Shield to work, nor Stealthy while others did. Some are having MediaHint problems with various workarounds being required.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Get an android box , size of a fag packet , plug into the TV and hey presto all the UK channels , Sky , BT sport , eurosport , tsn, with no monthly payments . Use online Radio Times as your programme guide .

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Where can you get one of these android boxes? Do you know how much they are to buy?

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

+1, I am also interested! Do share.

(I bought some Chromecasts but the stupid things resolve against their own DNS servers and not the ones Unotelly uses, have to work out how to get them to cooperate... Just been lazy to look it up and sit down to figure it out...)

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

What a revelation that hola is, we are also interested in the android box now too. ;)

We have been using HMA which is okay but we frequently lose the connection and have to switch cities.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Thanks, but I already added it. :)

The search I had done was just to see if it had been discussed on the forum.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Amazon.ca and Futureshop. Prices vary.....$110 seems common.

Check out the customer reviews.

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Paid $200 for mine , but worth every cent . Look on your local Kijiji pages under googlebox/android .
Not being mugged by Bell every month is an added bonus .

Re: UK TV. Help Please
 

Can you guys post which ones you bought (There are multiple brands) and what you are using to get British/US TV?
