Как пользоваться сервисом BBC iPlayer за пределами Великобритании

Since its foundation in 1922, BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) has succeeded in building a solid international reputation for producing and broadcasting high quality television and radio programs. Today, BBC is the largest broadcaster worldwide and it occupies a very important and special position in world media. BBC is funded by a license fee that all UK television owners must pay. And that is why BBC is not tied to commercial considerations and it broadcasts ads free programming.

BBC iPlayer is the BBC’s internet TV and radio service and it's one of the most watched internet media streaming services in the world. You can watch and listen to live broadcast on iPlayer but the main purpose of iPlayer for most users is to ‘catch-up’ with the last 7 days of programming for free.

BBC iPlayer apps are available for tablets and mobile devices that run iOS or Android. BBC has stated said that there has been a total of 20 million downloads of the iPlayer apps for iOS and Android devices.

BBC radio is available everywhere in the world through iPlayer but the full television service is only available to UK residents (there is also a different international service available in 11 European countries.)

In order to access the full television service of iPlayer outside UK, you need to get a UK IP address. There are many ways to do this but VPN is by far the most secure way due to a number of factors including its ease of use, maintaining internet anonymity, P2P and public Wi-Fi hotspot security.

You can get a UK IP address using WASEL Pro VPN service for BBC iPlayer by simply downloading the app on your computer, selecting UK server then connecting.
