What do users get with Beebs?
Beebs lets you watch all of the best UK TV channels from South Africa or anywhere overseas. With Beebs you can:
- Stream live BBC television shows, movies, sport and news on BBC iPlayer
- Stream live ITV television shows and movies on ITV Hub
- Stream Channel 4 live television shows, movies on All4 on demand
Why choose Beebs compared to a BBC iPlayer VPN or other alternatives?
Save time, money and frustration. For the team behind Beebs, the creation of the service was a way for us to channel all the frustrations with the - frankly, terrible - standards that international streaming providers set when dealing with British TV content, and vent them through creating something that is better than the alternatives.
The consistent access to important resources such as the BBC News live stream from anywhere in SA can't be downplayed. Beebs is a superior alternative to any of the VPNs and international streaming companies.
Instead of being able to access a handful of British TV shows, you can access every single new show that are streamable on BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and All4. Premium VPNs do not always guarantee access to these English TV channels, and they cost far more than Beebs!
Editors Choice: Our favourite TV series to stream on BBC iPlayer
There was no shortage of high-quality British series to sink our teeth into. What's been super pleasing is that there have been smaller-scale, under-the-radar gems found in the TV guide. Episodes of The Great British Sewing Bee and Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star were very much enjoyed during the cooler months.
Final Words
It is sad news South Africans who want to access the hundreds of original shows found on iPlayer. If one clicks on the site they will be denied access to BBC iPlayer. Given the popularity of British TV shows, it can be frustrating for South African fans who cannot access the shows that they want. Thankfully there are f00l-proof options at hand in this guide.
