How to watch BBC iPlayer Worldwide?
For people who are not aware of the BBC iPlayer, there is a great Internet TV service hosted in the UK. It has an option to use as a radio service also. The service comes in the form of software so people can watch programs or listen to the radio in a range of devices, including PCs. The service was introduced in 07. So, it is a relatively new service, but in a very short time, it became immensely popular. In fact, it became the number one service accessed the whole UK. One can access the BBC iPlayer on Android devices, telephones, Blackberry and iOS too. Even various game consoles also support the service. All these features and compatibility advantage helped achieve exponential growth.
The Dark Side
But the most irritating thing about the service is not available outside the UK! Although the service is still very popular BBC its owner is to restrict its dissemination outside the UK for reasons known only to them. Thus it has two consequences. First of all, foreigners do not have access to quality content hosted on the BBC iPlayer and the other British natives are unable to access the service when traveling outside the region. In addition, each year thousands of UK natives move out of the country. They also lose access to the service.
The solution
The best thing about the Internet is that it has answers to all the problems it creates. BBC iPlayer is an online service, which means it uses the Internet to distribute its content. Geo-blocking imposed on the service is done with the help of the Internet community itself. So we can use the power of the Internet again to unlock the service and make it accessible to everyone worldwide. The particular service used for this is called VPN; which means Virtual Private Network. This service changes your IP address to a native of the United Kingdom. So the BBC iPlayer software accept you as a UK native and unlocking the service for you. If you're not using a VPN, then give it a try for a wonderful internet experience.
