Uk TV streaming on your computer for free.

[Napalm]

This works really well for those of you who dont have uk tv /3 satellite dishes in your garden etc.

lots of stations, bbc's , itv,s film four etc and some movie / sports channels - great for snooker fans at the minute!

not spam - this works.

instructions from another site.

"I´ve been using a great little application to stream UK TV recently.
I have uploaded a version of it so others can try it.

First go to VLC website and download and install VLC

Once installed go to this site and download the zip file:
http://tenerifemortgagebroker.com/864

Unpack it on your desktop - its a small playlist file containing lots of UK and other Channels
If you get stuck unpacking this for any reason then download this program 7 Zip

To watch TV simply drag and drop the small file onto VLC media player icon on your desktop

VLC will automatically open and begin streaming BBC 1

To change channels, select "view" and then "playlist" and pick whichever channel you want.
Cool huh??

This works GREAT! Thanks for the heads up...

Sounds great in theory but not working for me - the zip file - and I'm using a Mac. PC only you think?

[Bumpa STIKKA]

Have you unpacked the .zip file?

[tsadmirer]

Sorry mate, was distracted by a phone call - I meant the VLC wasn't working (says not for Mac).

I'll sniff around and get a Mac-compliant effort and try again... hope you're well!

[Bumpa STIKKA]

I'm fine, mate... It's been a year since we had roof top beers, right?  

Anyway - it should work with most media players which support this kind of playlist format... although I don't think Macs are very friendly with flash based videos...

iTunes will probably work.

[dardenne]

I got a version of VLC that works but when I add that zipped file into it, the VLC closes down every time. Any ideas?

[Bumpa STIKKA]

I'm using this to follow the elections!

hey mate - I'm in Pattaya now where I have an I-Mac in the villa. Tried it here and it does work, albeit sporadically. The LQ ones are OK in general but the HQ ones... forget it. I just get a frozen picture.

Still... I am watching a British quiz show called Divided and am pleased to observe that I am smarter than a 25yo businessman, a 20yo law student and a 39yo wall filler who are, to be honest, thick cunts.

Am I allowed to say 'cunts'?
