My son has had to live and work in Germany for a few months.
He is staying in a hotel that doesn't have English speaking TV. He has got his computer that he can access from his hotel room.
He complains that he misses English Televsion, he did hope that he would be able to receive BBCi player but he says he cannot get it. Can someone tell me how he can access English TV via his computer . It would cheer him up no end. Thanks.

British TV streams are blocked for foreign computers. He need to use a British IP address, have a look here: https://my-private-network.co.uk. It's GBP 5 a month.
There are some providers where this is for free, but everything else I tried didn't work very stable.

WhereverTV may be of help, it probably won't work around the blocks but may offer some streaming options

Found a quaint little channel here, perfect for this cold winter evenings :

zattoo may or may not work.
I know there is a zattoo service for Germany.
But if you install and register him an account from the UK,the user/pass may then work over there
