I-player abroad

Do any of you guys who live outwith the UK use any software to watch bbc i-player?

 

Looks like there are domain cloakers which make your pc look like it's in the UK, allowing you to watch all the homebased online stuff.

 

Just looking for tips if anyone knows of a good one

 

Cheers

Don't know if you've seen this, although if you've gone through Google the answer may be yes.

This defo works:

But you have to pay a months subscription of about ?12. I have used this in the US and India and it works well so long as you have a good high speed connection.

 

You just sign up on-line and remember to cancel before 30 days if you do not want a second month.

there is an application called 'foxy proxy' which you can add to Firefox, it lets you substitute your IP address for a UK one and give the impression your in the UK. You can then watch the BBC i player. I've tried it and it works. There is a video that shows you how to use it on the application download site. You have to look for IP addresses to use by google and that can be trial and error.
