Watching BBC SCD overseas

Dear fellow strictly fans,

I am moving to New Zealand in the middle of this year and am already thinking about if / how it will be possible to watch the UK version of SCD whilst I'm there (so I can continue to chat to my uk based friends about the show)! I presume some websites will put the episodes up during the series? As far as I'm aware I can't use iplayer over there. Any recommended websites would be much appreciated-especially if they have ITT too.

Nothing like planning ahead - hoping someone on here might have an answer to my queries....

Thanks in advance!

I watched on filmon.com and used one of those forums where people post links of their uploads

The simplest method, as I understand it, is to use VPN software - which, in effect, allows you to appear as though you are in the UK. (I have used VPN to view DWTS in the past.)

The BBC increased its efforts to block VPN access to iplayer late last year......

However, you should still be able to use VPN to view Strictly on the iplayer from outside the UK.

Not sure if this is a legitimate topic for the DS forums, so I won't go in to this in any depth, - but if you Google iplayer VPN it might help you.

Lucky you. Good luck and hope everything goes well. I am sure you will find some way. I know someone who streams the live cricket from India so it must be possible.
