Watching UK TV via Wifi on iPad
« on: December 14, 2012, 21:25:06 PM »
Hi

Would anyone have any recommendations on the best way to watch UK TV whilst in Turkey.  I will have Wifi and an iPad.  Exploring the Netflix option, but any other advice welcome.

Thanks in advance

Unless you have a VPN you will be barred from using your ipad for sites such as bbc iplayer, itv player and tv catchup, from Turkey  Which leaves you with filmon, but you,ll need to be in a wifi area.

Did you know that with bbc I player you can download programmes onto your iPad and watch them whenever you want within  30 days.

Apologies for being a bit thick - but what is a VPN and how do you get it.

No....it's free (there is also a pay option but not sure what you get for that)

Download the app here https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/filmon-live-tv-free/id576167616?mt=8
