How to view UK channels over internet?

Hi guys,
does anyone know how to watch the uk terrestrial channels including bbc1 bbc2 itv 1 ch4 ch5 and possibly other uk freeview channels, online from abroad ??
Sadly some uk based sites, i.e. Zatto tv, if you are out of uk they block the streaming of their channels,
i mean , is there anywhere, possibly for free, any website or anything that would allow us to watch the uk channels in anyway whilst abroad???
Thanks a lot !!!

Why not get someone with a good internet connection in the UK to stream them to you using a Slingbox?

All UK channels apart from the odd news channel have location based protection when viewing over the internet, it is a requirement of the broadcasting regulations to stop people enjoying the TV meant for UK nationals at home, outside of the UK. I have previously complained to Sky about this and they said they are working on a solution whatever that means!

There is a proxy website that shows your IP as if it is from the UK, but the service is not free.
Do a search of the forum. It should be there somewhere.
I hate watching TV on the PC, so I wasn't interested.
Your best solution would be using a Slingbox, as rolfw suggested. Need a fast ADSL on both points.

Just take a large dish and receiver to your location rob70.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
