Im moving to Thailand in 2 weeks and on my last visit I tried to connect to BBC I Player and found the service is not available outside the UK, anyone know how I can get this to work in Thailand ?
Thanks

Seriously though, it can be done fairly easily but you will find that the connection speed is dog slow as its a very long route to get back to Aunty Beeb.

I tend to just torrent most stuff (www.uknova.com)

I use a VPN service (paid one) and it is really only good for downloading rather than streaming.

As long as you are connected to start the download, then briefly when you play the program the first time, it works great. I just leave 10-15 programs downloading and really have more than I can watch.

Where are you? What you doing?
I lived there for 10 years (81-91) and have been going regular since 1977.
