STEVE P Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Has anyone managed to get access to UK TV on the internet & how. Been here a year now and altho not really missing the TV I would have liked to follow the 6 nations Rugby. Always keen to watch England especially when they are doing well. I don't even mind if its not live!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesw Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 As Goat said, ESPN via foxtel. All 6 nations games live. Setanta on foxtel show premiership rugby live as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRedHead82 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Get a VPN. It makes your computer look like it has an overseas IP address so you can watch things online. I use mine to watch UK and American TV online. I use IPVanish and pay $10/month but there's lots of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although am finding the Internet speed here is just not quick enough to stream video fast enough to watch it very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraighttothePoint Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Double episodes of Corrie now on Foxtel, UK Channel, ya beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 You can get Foxtel on a month by month basis with an Xbox (and broadband connection). For other UK TV, isn't it all on ABC a year later? :-) Other ways are perhaps dodgy downloading or a VPN to the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibbs Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 As above. Foxtel UKTV for all the BBC/ITV stuff. And all the sports (as mentioned) are on ESPN. But it's easier to just get into AFL and the tri-nations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezmid Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 We purchased a little piece of kit online that let's us watch English TV.

Admin Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 We purchased a little piece of kit online that let's us watch English TV. Mind I never get a look in with the better half watching the football now the seasons back. Being able to watch eastenders the same time the fam does back home is fab Little confused by this, why would you buy a piece of kit to let you watch English TV, when you're in the UK at the moment?

kezmid Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'm in the UK until October then heading back over to oz, staying in the Gold Coast this time round mind. Personally I bring it everywhere because it works via wifi so I don't have to register to sky or Virgin when I'm back home and also it offers a lot more then TV. Films, sports, TV series etc... The little black box, have a look at it, it's really good :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
