Officially you can't. There is a couple of other ways, mainly they are based around you either getting yourself a proxy server, this is a thingy that makes the BBC think you are watching from in the permitted region ie UK, Europe etc. There is also a piece of software you download, for free, which I can't remember the name, sorry.

Here is a link for free proxy server that will show you based in the UK, I have not tried this, so can not say if it is any good or not.

I know you say you are no I.T. person but, you could also try this page:

Also could look for a 'Get Iplayer' which I allows you to download programmes and works from outside the UK.

I use this company costs 5 pounds a month. Works ok but downloading your favourites is best.

Need a very strong bandwidth to watch live.

I downloaded Expatshield which is free if you can put up with the small banner ads top of the page, it gives you a proxy server when its turned on,allowing you to look at uk tv ,works good for banned porn sites also !!

If the bandwidth is not enough to stream live from the suggestions above.

Try Strong VPN, they have a few different packages to suit your needs. Mine is $55/year, sometimes works great other times its not so good so the downloading option is used.
