I have recently been getting mail advertising tv channels via my computer. I was wondering if it is a scam or genuine, i have already realised that it is not as cheap as advertised but was hoping that someone more knowledgeable than I could post there comments or experiences, many of the emails come from that well know mecca of tv panama!. So is it a case of if it seems to good to be true it probly is?

We get UK TV via our PC. It's a case of having a UK IP address so that UK TV like BBC & ITV think you are in the UK.
There are companies that will provide you with a proxy address for a fee or you can do it yourself for free....research free proxy addresses.
We mostly download BBC the day after but we find ITV good via LIvestation 80% of the time.
YOu will need to have unlimited download capacity with TTNet.
5 weeks on we are able to view X Factor, I'm a celebrity...and other programs...but remember we are 2 hours behind UK.
ITV so far we have not conqured the download facility so we watch that live.
Darn site better than Digiturk repeats :D ;)

No, that is true Crabbovic. My own opinion is that all the services I have encountered here involve something I don't like, and something worse. I don't believe it is a sustainable service, and I have never seen a viable payment option on any provider's site. Stay well clear.

Fi......Do you use a proxy server and if so which one? I have tried Anonymouse but the BBC site still tells me I am not in the UK so can't access the TV channels but there is no problem to receiving the radio stations :)

I did a google search for British TV abroad and looked at the first couple of results. One of them had a pdf contract for you to print, fill in and forward. This included your name, address, credit card number, expiry date and the 3 numbers on the back of the card. If there is anyone stupid enough to do that, can you send the card details to me? Be very careful [:o]

Tribalelder,
Try Proxy4free...choose a UK IP address and after you have set up your connection for the internet it should work..
or UKTVAbroad do the same but charge through pay pal.
It can be done and you do not have to give bank details etc if through pay pal.
BBC works through iplayer and Livestation or zatoo work for ITV etc. BBC not live but we download the next day and then watch at our convenience. You will need to upgrade to unlimited on TTnet for all the downloads.
We have done it so it does work.
