Watching BBC programs for free

[johnny333]

With fiber cable I can now watch many FREE shows online. If you like British programs I recommend visiting the BBC. That's where I go to watch the latest Dr. Who series

You're still paying in the form of a fibre connection.

Nothing in Spore is free lah. Actually I am paying the same $$$. It's just that I now no longer have to pay Starhub for cable TV. I am now only paying more for a faster internet connection.

Didn't realise that there are so much free stuff out there All that one needs is a Roku box, or a browser to watch free channels like BBC, or the XBMC software to access movies & real time US channels. I haven't even started looking at the Chinese sites. I will need a VPN to bypass the China Wall.

You can find cheaper prices out there. However none of them can compete with iHerbs $4 shipping charge to Spore.

You can watch those shows anytime even without a fiber connection. All you need to do is to access with a UK proxy to view the geoblocked content.

You sound quite surprised. Have you been living under a rock recently?

Is the BBC site I pointed to geo blocked

Previously had a really slow connection of 3 Mbps so couldn't really explore all the interesting movie/TV sites. Also didn't really have to because I had a subscription with Starhub. Got connected to fiber only for a month & that's why I have been playing around with a Roku box, XBMC, etc.

With so much free stuff out there Starhub might have a problem.

Install xbmc and fusion repo. Search for FTV video plugin. No need stupid proxies. Give local TVs the middle finger. Angmo programs lumber one.

Any proxy based in the UK will allow access to BBC iPlayer. I normally use TunnelBear.

Is there any equivalent I can use to view Singapore TV from abroad?

MediaCorpse has a video plugin for XBMC! :p

The local Channel 8 variety shows are getting from bad to worse... brain-dead and low budget. It's a travel or makan show, or show Gurmit Singh trying to speak Chinese and act cute.

Saw that plugin & I had a good laugh

The reason people are turning away from Media corp is because there is really nothing there.

There's hardly any english news radio station in Thailand so for my daily drive I depend on the BBC podcasts a lot. Oh its free of course.

In Spore although there is news in english, much of it is propaganda. That's why I watch the alternate news like CNN, BBC & CNBC.

I've managed to get streaming news for CNN & MSNBC using XBMC. Have NHK news via my Roku box, Have seen CNBC on Roku but it will not install because it is Geo blocked. That's why I'm now looking at getting a smart DNS/VPN account for my Roku & iPad.

Was it good at all?

I just downloaded an App for my iPad named "UK TV" & it is like having a Roku box on an iPad. From within this app I can access Live TV streams from many UK stations.
Here is a list: BBC London, BBC World, Sky New, Sky 1, Tom & Jerry, BB-Click, BBC Panorama, ....Al Jazeera News,World Fashion TV, The Active Channel, ..

You also access Live Radio channels. About 30+ radio stations in Britain
Also have Music & an assortment of movies clips.

This is a free app. If you have decent internet connection you can probably use this app. The site it accesses might be geo blocked I don't know because my ISP has a DSN thingee which is supposed hide my location?
It doesn't always work:(

 

[johnny333]

I also found a "US TV" app. Will try it out when I have time. From a quick look it appears to be more of a short movie clips, rather than streaming of TV channels.

Alright, spend the rest of our lives watching movies ......
