If you're not convinced by what we offer with Beebs, here are some other solutions to stream UK TV online:
Option 1: Purchase a VPN
I keep hearing bout VPNs. Don’t I need one of them to watch British TV from overseas? Well, yes, that is definitely an option. VPNs are by far the most popular method of accessing the different streaming services. They work by masking the user's IP address and makes it seem as though you are situated in the UK rather than overseas.
For a decent VPN you will need to download software and pay a monthly fee. Most work reasonably well once installed. But they don't always guarantee access.
Option 2: Find a Proxy Server
Another more challenging method is by use a BBC iPlayer proxy server. A proxy server which is similar to a VPN but much more lightweight. There is usually a limit on the bandwidth you can use with any free version of a proxy server, so binge watching isn't always possible.
Option 3: Pay for a Britbox or Acorn TV
With the launch of both Britbox and Acorn TV, it seemed like British content on-demand was no longer a pipe-dream for those living outside the UK. Britbox offers British TV shows from the BBC and ITV–though mainly their older box sets. Acorn TV is an accumulation of content from the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
It must be said that the programming on Britbox and Acorn TV is lacking when it comes to newer content since these shows are sold and distributed to platforms like Netflix or Amazon. Britbox and Acorn TV are available in a limited amount of countries.

Option 4: Install Beebs
We've given you three other options above, and outlaid the positives and negatives of each one. Watching British TV abroad should be a simple process (something your grandmother should be able to do) and with Beebs, it is.
Once you've downloaded the Beebs Chrome Extension, your device will have full access to site requests from the British streaming services.
