I read somewhere that there is a web site which you can use as an alternative means of getting BBC iPlayer and ITV hub etc without the normal out of UK retsrictions.
Can anybody help please?

Hello and welcome to the forum 
:lol:
Using this website down in Spain at the moment for British TV
.
..........you need a good wifi signal that enables sufficient download speed which the site I am on provides in the nightly fee of €9.60
No problems using the BBC website for radio podcasts .......or live radio programmes if the wifi signal is good enough.

Come early 2018 then reportedly the restriction on BBC i-player looks likely to be lifted in the EU. Something to look forward to for the future, but for how long we will benefit given our pending exit from the EU will no doubt be all part of the restructuring. No good this year though.

Hi,
I pay about £3 per month for a British IP address through a company called Smart proxy DNS. This gives me access to all uk channels through their normal web sites as well as Sky Go and BT Sport just as if I was at home. This will actually work anywhere in the world and recently watched the first of the 6 nations rugby matches out in the Canary Islands.

The problem with using a UK proxy DNS apart from the cost is that it absorbs considerable bandwidth likely to be in short supply on a campsite internet ( also applies to leavining Skype connected all the time) which will also affect all other users.
Filmon requires around 2 Mb/s download speed and even then has glitches with sound and picture out of sync.
But given this sort of speed its generally tolerable.
You can check your speed with a variety of free apps or services. My choice is speedtest.net aka Ookla on which you can see and select the remote server your local supplier is using. It's not perfect but pretty good. Also be aware the reading you get on an ipad may not be the same as on a windows laptop due to differences in the way they process.
Rural areas in Europe or even less populated areas such as SE Spain where I am now have seen a vadt increase in demand recently with which the communication infrastructure simply can't cope resulting in low speeds and unreliable connection. Makes us feel very much at home - just like rural Somerset where 2MBs would be quite good.
