I will be going to Morocco for this Christmas and one thing I do pretty much every year is watch the EastEnders 'specials' and other good old Christmas TV/movies!
I will be taking a laptop out there but as far as I am aware iPlayer only works in the UK.. Do you guys have any solutions on how I can catch up on my Xmas TV while I am away?
Many thanks! :) xx
If you have a twin tuner or sky box I guess you could put programmes on series record?

The Best Option to watch BBC iPlayer Abroad
Firstly should you pick substitute or VPN options, well the neatest thing is to have BOTH! The software I use is Identity Cloaker which gives you a premium high speed United Kingdom proxy and United Kingdom VPN option. This will enable you to view iPlayer live and download programs to view when you want.
The software wasn't originally made for television viewing, it is just a byproduct of what it does. As such they do not even state this use on their website!
There is a ten day trial available for a few euros (the free version is of no use if you'd like to watch iplayer abroad {as it is too restrictive|ass it only works for certain sites, as it does not work for TV sites). After that the software costs less than seven euros a month, so it is reallly a bargain for those among us who need to watch iPlayer abroad!

If all fails, could you get somebody else to record it for you for you to watch on your return?
Or you could watch it on iplayer when you get back, if you're coming back before the 1st Jan. If not, you should be able to download it, ahem, somewhere.
Spicy, if you want to jump on the ferry to Gibraltar, 20 mins away, your more than welcome to watch it at ours!
I use a proxy through my uni whilst I'm out here in Germany, so if you're at uni they might have one available for you to use?
Many thanks for the suggestions guys! I think I will just have to record it on Sky + or watch it on iPlayer when I get back. May try and Youtube the Christmas special.. Hopefully someone will put it up bit by bit or something haha!
I don't think I have a proxy through uni Tori :(
Have a look on your library website - may be called a VPN; it might say use this to access journals off campus or something!Quote:
