We're the same, we get all the FilmON UK channels without using the VPN, though when our subscription comes up for renewal we then use the VPN to renew it, otherwise you don't get the choice of those channels.

MediaHint just works for me for the BBC and 4OD. Wifey wanted to watch the Welsh detective drama Y Gwyll on S4C Clic and it didn't work. I downloaded Expat Shield and now it does.

BTW Y Gwyll is pretty good - you can watch it in Welsh with English subtitles now or wait until the new year when it will be on BBC4 re-filmed in English as Hinterland.

I'd also recommend MediaHint - works perfectly. It installs as a firefox extension and I can access iPlayer in HD with no problems. I have grown to hate this whole geoblocking thing, especially in the EU where people should be able to watch each others channels.

And look at how popular iPlayer is: http://www.statista.com/statistics/2...s-or-tv-shows/

It would be cool to see it opened up to an international audience, even if it just meant news, current affairs and so on. I'm sure the BBC would do really well in terms of advertising.

I have some experience doing this without an Internet connection. I'm literally out in the sticks, we don't have Broadband and DishNet seems very expensive. I thought, well why not make my own iPlayer?

I left my PC with my dad and have him record Freeview though Windows Media Center with a DVB-T dongle attached for the signal. Every few months I mail a small hard drive to him to copy the DVR files across and either watch on my laptop or one of those "Chrome Cast sticks" plugged into the TV.

He pays the TV license and I pay the shipping costs of around $20 every 3 months. You don't need internet for this and can keep your shows forever, so no need for those DVD box sets.

One thing to bear in mind if you don't have a new TV here in the states. It might be square not letter box shaped, so the picture can look distorted and they use less lines in their NTSC than the UK PAL system; Which because Freeview uses 500+lines your BritTV looks like High Def on an old TV here. Freeview HD shows don't work well on our TV at all, I had to transcode down to 720P and encode the audio as MP3 so it would play on Android. It can get complex, making the .WTV files from Windows media Center into MP4 files for Android, in which case just use a Windows Laptop.

NBC show Premier League games, ESPN don't do so well with this. BBC America is rubbish. NPT (Public Television) show things like Downton Abbey, Miranda, Outnumbered and BBC World News at 10pm.

(PS. The iPlayer radio app will let you listen to Radio 4 for sure and some footie matches are carried on the Talk Sport Live app, an app called TuneIn Radio will let you listen to BBC Local Radio stations for free.)

Do you have cable where you are? Of ten cable companies offer reasonable deals and most provide high speed internet - and it's not only cheaper than satellite, but it's a lot more reliable too!

tennesseestud

Nope no cable TV out here.

I don't have cable here either. I get t'internet via a radio tower.

tennesseestud
