After spending 2 seconds looking on google, I came up with this;

"We do not hold international rights to all of our programming so video content is supplied only to users with IP addresses in the UK. Some users in Britain may be affected by such geographic blocking if their internet service provider uses servers outside the UK."

Below is a link to the site.

thanks, i had seen the same thing, but is there away for the server to think your IP address is coming from the UK? when in fact you are in thailand?

the beeb will block you if you try to cover your location even if you were in the UK they would block you if you dont have a real IP

I've been trying for some time to listen to football on Radio 5 live - you used to be able to use a proxy server but for the last two years I have been unable to find any way to convince the Beeb that I am in the UK.

For TV there used to be a HK service that streamed certain TV stations. Chargeable but at a very reasonable rate. However I've not found it recently nor am I interested as I only want the radio.

This is not the P2P services that I find do not work.

If its only restricted to UK ips, the only way is to get a VPN with UK ip. however it might slow down your video feeds. Since speeds in thailand is way behind UK, even if you use a VPN, you might not get smooth videos.

Streamed TV would have a pretty poor picture anyway, particularly on the bandwidths available in Thailand.

Have a look at UK Nova (don't have the address as I am not on my regular computer). You can download very recent UK TV from there, though it's not always easy to get access as they restrict the number of members. Their site will also let you know what you need for the downloads, i.e. torrent software.
