How to Watch Channel 4 in Spain
Whether you are retired, living, working or just holidaying in Spain, it is not possible to watch Channel 4 from abroad.
This is because of geo-blocking restrictions. This basically means you need to be physically located in the UK to watch Channel 4 to watch British television such as the BBC iPlayer from Spain.
We've made a quick and easy solution. By installing Beebs to your Chrome browser, full access to the Channel 4 streaming service happens in an instant.
Steps to Watch a Channel 4 Live Stream from Spain:
It really is that simple. By completing the incredibly easy instructions above, you can watch Channel 4 on-demand from Spain.
The Best TV Shows from the U.K. Live to Spain
The All4 website has an evolving list of available programming for us to enjoy. Not only is there many brand new programmes to binge such as Close To Me, Screw, to name just a few, as well as classic shows Deadwater Fell and The Inbetweeners to keep us more than entertained.
The option to tune in to watch brand new episodes of Taskmaster should be a big reason to get yourself a Beebs subscription. Every episode is quality, and typifies English humour at its finest. It's a TV show like this which will make you glued to your device.
Channel 4 F1 Live Stream and Highlights Programme
Outside of the regular programming, one of the best aspects of having access to All4 Player is the chance to catch the Formula 1 action. Even though the Channel 4 F1 stream isn't always available for every race (the broadcaster shares the live race rights with Sky Sports), we can always tune in to watch the highlights at the conclusion of any race.
Since Channel 4 gained the UK broadcast rights for some of the F1 action, they've done an incredible job presenting the motor sport to audiences on free to air television. A TV show dedicated to Formula One is a great resource for anyone mad about the sport. Check out the compilation video of last year's action below.
Channel 4 News Live Stream
Since Beebs users have full access to the Channel 4 streaming service in Spain, it is possible to tune in to watch the Channel 4 news service right as it goes to air. What holiday makers or Spanish citizens find when they flick over to All4 is the real deal - it is the Channel 4 UK live stream.
Channel 4 news is right up there in quality. It is news and current affairs reporting that's committed to challenging expectations with stories that reveal and inspire.
Options to Unblock Channel 4
There are a few different ways of unblocking your Spanish location. However, the success of these options cannot be guaranteed. Let's take a look at the options that punters can choose.
The most commonly used and most well known is using a VPN. VPN software allows you to redirect your internet connection so it appears as that you are in the UK (or anywhere in the world). The main problem with a VPN, aside from the problems of installing and maintaining the software, is that it can cripple your internet connection. This not so great if you are connecting from a weak hotel wi-fi connection. In addition, even the most expensive VPNs do not always guarantee access to the streaming services or UK channels via the apps.
Another option is a proxy server. A proxy server acts similar to a VPN but is less of a drain on your computer resources. Efficient ones can set you back a lot of money but there are free ones out there - but say goodbye to privacy and expect plenty of extra adverts.
There is one option open to UK holiday makers to watch Channel 4 from Spain. You can sign up for the All4+ service which allows you to use the service while travelling or holidaying in Spain. This is not an option available to retirees, people working full-time or, of course, local Spaniards looking to improve their English.
