Tvcatchup

Tvcatchup doesn't work here. - even when using Expatshield, a UK VPN or  UK IP.

Using Expatshield you can use:

Most of the UK terrestrial channels - (for Channels 4 and 5 use Filmon)
BBC iPlayer
Sky Go - with an account.
4oD
ITV Player
5 on Demand

For Live Sport: - When not available on the terrestrials.

'catch up tv' - do you mean iPlayer etc. or do you mean tvcatchup.com?

If you can get tvcatchup.com - are you in Fuerteventura or the UK?

I've not been able to get tvcatchup for years here in Fv.

If its saying you need to be in the uk then you need something like www.beevpn.com

Brightspark

2 problems here

1. Someone mentioned Expatshield

2. Someone mentioned paying for a VPN to get a British IP

No one has mentioned Piratebay yet  ;D

How can you watch UK Tv with Piratebay?

Have you used beevpn from outside of the Uk to watch tvcatchup?

You can watch free TV online on filmon.com or there is a site called project free tv, we use it all the time, its excellent for watching programs from the first episode right up to today... it can be a dodgey at times but in general its fab

Unless it's changed it utilizes Internet Explorer (which sucks)
And Piratebay has some good free programs for changing IP addresses

Hingston60

no but you can get it live on filmon and its free and you dont need any expat shield, just type filmon into your search engine and go to the page and click n the station you want to watch

I have zero problems with Expatshield.
Filmon isn't bad - it's a good service but depending on your connection it is possible to watch channels' official sites in HD using Expatshield. When watching on a laptop the difference is negligible but if you use a large screen Tv then the difference is apparent.

QuoteUnless it's changed it utilizes Internet Explorer (which sucks)
Expatshield can (and always could be) configured to use Firefox (or whichever browser you like) as default.
With Firefox (and others) you can install the Adblock Plus plugin which removes all of Expatshield's annoying banners.

With Expatshield you can watch all of the official online Tv channels - including the Sky channels (but not channels 4 & 5) plus the official catchups - BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, Sky Player etc.
With BBC iPlayer you can pause or restart live BBC programmes or even go back a couple of hours. For example I like Formula 1 but for the last race I switched on about 2:15 and just restarted the programme on iPlayer - selected 1:00 pm and watched from the start of the race.

The quality is much better than Filmon's and doesn't have their giant logo top right..

For the non terrestrials eg Dave etc. - (and Channels 4 and 5 which don't have  official live online sites) - then we use Filmon for those.

For unofficial catchups of tv and movies there are buckets and buckets of sites out there. like
ice films,
blinkx,
Tvlinks
Yourtvseri.es
project free tv,
tehcake.
EZDownloadSite
. and many many more some of which come and go.
- There are so many that they could merit a topic of their own.

...And then there are the old fashioned torrents many of which can now be streamed using e.g. µTorrent

Getting back to the original topic - tvcatchup - Has anyone found a way to watch it in Fv? There's no point in suggesting Expatshield or the IP and Vpns - Tvcatchup uses very sophisticated filters to prevent them working. I'd love to find a way but as yet have failed.

Expat shield is fine as it works but not if you don't like spyware which is why it's free.

It also loads a program automatically without asking which tracks your movements and if it's an older pc can help slow it down.

Expat Shield is published by Anchorfree Inc. which is recognized by Verisign and other certificate authorities as a trusted software vendor. In addition, Expat Shield is reviewed by various reputed companies such as Wall Street Journal, CNN, San Francisco Chronicle, NY Times, LA Times, and Mercury News.  PC Magazine has named Expat Shield as one of the top free downloads.

It's free because it has ads - though you can block them.

I'm unaware of any reference to it tracking my movements. Any web site in the world can track your movements through its pages and monitor your reading interests using your IP address, a unique ID assigned to each computer in the Internet. Using only your IP address and the information about your operating system a Web site can automatically exploit security holes in your system using some free hacking programs. Expatshield prevents that.

Yes im using Beevpn as we speak. Get to watch everything I want to (mostly off SkyGo) with no trouble. I can also get it on my Ipad too, which is nice.!!

Im not sure what tv catch up is but you can access any website you want as the ip address comes through as a uk one so websites just think you are in the uk. It works perfect so im sure if tv catch up is like bbc iplayer or itv iplayer which only lets you access if you are running off a uk ip address then it will work.

It's not. They are more clever than the others.

I have been running my website for 4 years now, http://www.britishtvanywhere.com/

Recently I updated the entire website, you get over 20 VPN servers to choose from, including 7 UK servers and links to all channels. You also get USA servers to unlock loads of USA channels.

Prices are the lowest you will find for the amount of servers you get. Basically, I supply servers on demand so any buffering is easily fixed by changing servers.

All info is on the homepage and FAQs page here http://www.britishtvanywhere.com/faq.html

I am in Fuerteventura, so if anyone needs me to set this up for them, I can meet you to set it all up and show you how it works. If you want it running on your TV, I can help with this too.

Send me a message to contact@britishtvanywhere.com if you are interested.

There's no mention of how much?

There's a 'Prices' tab at the very top???

Canarybid

Sorry about that, the prices are as follows..

24 Hours = €1
1 Week = €4,99
1 Month = €7,99
3 Months = €22,99
6 Months = €42,99
1 Year = €69,99

You can actually share your connection with 2 other people simultaneously. Basically, if you have 6mb ADSL or above, you can watch 3 different channels at the same time on 3 different devices. It does not have to be from the same connection either, you can use 3 different locations from anywhere in the world, just as long as you connect to 3 different UK servers at the same time. Hope that makes sense, I have had a beer!
