You can't get ITV or BBC here, since you live outside UK, however there seems to be ways by making your IP appear as if you are in UK. Then you should be able to watch some progs on line on your pc.

If you know people in the UK, you could get a slingbox and watch all your channels. I have my sky+ box at home connected to my slingbox, it's like you're sitting in your living room with your remote control. I can't live without tv, x factor is on tonight - yay!

Showtime has Coronation Street and Emmerdale, yes a few weeks old but apart from at Christmas, it makes no difference. Granada UK has 4 year old Coronation st and Emmerdale. BBC Prime is ok, especially if you have been here a few years and missed things that were on BBC1.
There is a good chance that BBC iPlayer will be available to paying interntional customers in the future so we will be able to watch all up to date tv on demand. To be honest, the tv here is not the same as the UK, old episodes of What not to Wear, Homes Under the Hammer etc with the odd drama. I watch mainly US tv now which is more current and then buy things like Ashes to Ashes on DVD as you have to wait about 6 months for Showtime to get it.
Feel free to pm me, I watch loads of tv so know the answers to most questions!
