Default Watching UK TV in PP

we used to subscribe to UKTV Anywhere but it closed down.

I notice a different but similarly named UK-TV Anywhere is up and running, but quite dear:

https://www.uktv-anywhere.com/

Anyone use this?

Any advice on the best way to get BBC/ITV/C4 etc?

I tries a VPN but the BBC seems to have sussed that out and i couldn't get any access.

Thanks

Chris

Does your community have communal satellite? linking to that would be the easiest way using a set top box.

The VPN with Norton 360 antivirus software works

Regret to say that the VPN with Norton 360 no longer works

Have signed up today with NordVPN which does work.

I did use this previously with no problem in various countries, but when Norton threw in their VPN as a freebie I used them instead.

There are various cost plans - about £60 for one year rising to £96 for 3 years.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee, which might be useful if you are just making one visit

Any recent suggestions for VPN which allows you to watch BBC? Desperate to see the footy!

Try NordVPN. That's the one I use and haven't had an issue yet.

The VPN with Norton 360 now seems to work, whereas it didn't last year.

Otherwise NordVPN works
