With broadband Internet becoming the norm, the amount of TV channels being streamed is increasing daily. The BBC came up with the iPlayer and ITV with the originally named ITVplayer, both of which essentially do the same thing and that is stream TV programmes on the Internet. The big problem for those of us not living in the UK is that the Beeb know where you live! Your Internet provider assigns you an IP address when you logon and part of this address is the city you live in. The TV licencing laws only allow you to watch British TV if you are resident in the UK, so if you live in Vienna, you’re screwed!
