Hi all, i moved to HK a few months again. Missing bbc and itv shows but i can't watch iPlayer here. Any suggestion how to get through the geographical block here? thanks

you should try vpn, there are many of them but most of them not working well (stop and start every 10-20 seconds) in hongkong as their servers are far away in uk. My friend introduced me to UKTVHK.com and it works well for me at home. I watched Doctor Who yesterday night. Hope this helps.

Proxies & VPNs can get around anything.

Just to update this thread.
Try Get iplayer automator but keep it going with a donation. You will love it so much you must donate just something.

Does anyone know if ukustvhk.com is available (or blocked) in mainland China?

I'm using Astrill vpn, it's super fast and works perfectly here in Dongguan
