Good news for expats from Engadget - BBC iPlayer going international next year (and how to get it now)

At the moment if you live outside the UK you have to employ tricks of dubious legality to watch the Beeb's on-demand iPlayer service. According to this story on Engadget soon you won't have to. If you click on the link above you'll see the full story, but apparently the BBC hasn't decided whether you'll have to pay or watch ads in order to use the service. Remember, you'd have to pay a licence fee for the privilege of doing this in Britain.

Meanwhile, if you can't wait to use iPlayer, 4oD or any of the other British services that allow you to catch up with your favourite programmes you could try clicking this link: http://bit.ly/bZQ6ys . It'll take you to Expat Shield, a free service that makes it appear you are accessing the internet from the UK.
