    Do a google on VPN. There are some free ones but also some where you pay. Any should work, but I am about to make same choice and will pay in hope of avoiding ads and improved security.

    Good luck!

    download them from tvnova, or thebox.biz, usually better quality than watching on iplayer.

    You can’t have it unless you pay your license fee! 😉

    Witopia http://www.personalvpn.com/

    Costs $60/year but is well worth it – works really well and allows you to dial in to loads of countries including the USA so you can watch Hulu and lots of other cool stuff.

    Tor catchup – do a search.

    Use a proxy service based in the UK, loads of them around.

    Apparently proxies don’t work so well with iPlayer these days.

    Used these guys when in France so I could watch ITV coverage of Tour De France. iPlayer worked as well

    Pretty sure there must be another thread on here?
    I was using tor (+ foxyproxy), but now have access to a VPS in UK and with socks5 set up in firefox, you just do ssh -D on command line or in putty.

    I think this should work, too: http://hidemyass.com/

    It is absolutely free!

    http://hidemyass.com/ doesn´t work as it doesn´t provide a recognisable IP address.

    Expat Shield will work. So will a paid for VPN.
    Torrents make more sense when you want to watch a series.
