Why Can't I See UK TV When Abroad

Those of you who have ever tried viewing television from any of the United Kingdom television channels outside the British Isle, most likely been restricted from viewing. There are various monetary as well as regulatory reasons the networks restrict all watching from outside the UK. Actually UK TV broadcasters are not alone as the same thing occurs with plenty of other commercial networks all over the planet.

I'm afraid fantastic networksmedia channels} like Hulu, NBC, Pandora and many of others all restrict access from the web except for if you're viewing from their home country. My mate even bitched that he was able to access the Gaelic football on RTE when he was in the UK - hardly an hours flight away ( in fact for a few games he did actually fly all the way to Dublin to watch the game on television )

So how are they able to do this? They can do it using a assortment of technologies depending on the network and the media player being used. But in the easiest form they are simply using geolocation, to find out that you are accessing from. It's all down to your Web address, our individual address online that states your location. Each IP address is registered to a specific supplier regularly an ISP or a datcentre, and in tern this is then classified by country.

Then should you attempt to watch any UK television like the BBC iPlayer from say Germany, then the address will be verified in this database and if you're registered outside of the UK you will get a blocked warning.

Now this system is unquestionably imperfect, as an example a number of these database which list the IP addresses are out of date so it can be incorrect. I know of many of us in different states who can see BBC iPlayer without any modifications.

But for most of us, who want to watch all of the wonderful content of the BBC, completely lacking in adverts then we have to get around this geolocation and thus our IP address seem to be from the UK.
