Title: BBC and Football via internet in Spain
Post by: Doss on July 02, 2010, 08:13:11 AM
I am staying in for a while in an apartment in la Herradura.
There is a fast internet conection  but no British television.

I like to watch the football and some soaps which are on the BBC.

When I try to use the BBC iplayer I get a message saying that I cannot connect because I am not in the UK.

I normally live in the UK and I pay my TV license.

Is there a way of getting round this.

I was speaking to someone in a bar and he said that it is possible to get a proxy or something.

Any ideas?

What you need is a VPN or Virtual Private Network.

It lets you connect to internet via another computer which is in a different location.
So it seems as if you are in that location to the BBC or ITV

The best company I have found is purevpn
They have very cheap long term rates.

They have a plugin for chrome which is very good for IPLAYER and an installable ap which is also very good

You can now use Netflix in Spain.

You can use a VPN for get US netflix or British Netflix although you need a specific VPN like pur VPN to do that.
There are differences between the netflix offerings in each country.
