just a small application and because it's through VLC player you can record it too! Apparently.

Download, open, little black box will appear, then a list of channels, type in number you want to watch, voila, it only opens in VLC Player though.

So yeah.....http://rapidshare.com/files/285440524/British_TV.rar

Tres cool. Thanks folkie, appreciate that

folklore · 05-10-2009, 14:07

It is just great! I thought "this is too good to be true" even though you know I can watch it regardless

, I was watching BBC One on computer and turning around to look at tv "ooh it's soo cool, wow Murder She Wrote on two screens in my living room, who'd have though it!"

There's a slight time delay but it's definitely genuine. I recommend to everyone, now those who want to watch Goldfrapp but they are on brit tv won't have to wait for uploads! We can all be a family :s *a small tear rolls down face*

^Hahaha, even though you're just a little too enthusiastic about it (

), I really like it!

Dreeke · 05-10-2009, 15:12

Thanks a lot!
Now I won't have to go through the trouble of finding a decent UK proxy every weekend.

Rap, it's a media player like Quicktime or Realplayer. You can download it from here:

Thanks, Steph. Am downloading it now.

tattmaylor · 06-10-2009, 08:44

I get an 'British TV.exe' file. I have VLC but can't open this.

Steph have you got this going on a mac?

Rapunzel · 06-10-2009, 10:54

Works for me on PC, but I can only get maybe a handful of the channels. The rest result in an error message. Also, the screen freezes a lot -- any advice on resolving this?

Ah scheisse. It's not going to work for mac users. Just downloaded it and unless there's another file this .exe file is a no go for macs. (we're allergic to .exe files

)

what's so special about UK tv .. is as crap as amywhere else's surely .. okay not quite as bad as American but hey we're getting there ... I saw this thing called the X factor for the first time last week .. what is all that about? It's like some kinda modern day slave market except the fools sell themselves ... it's sad... if the human race has come to this we deserve to be mashed by the next handy meteorite ...

What you watching. I've lived in the US, New Zealand and briefly in Germany and overall (obviously all mentioned above do some great stuff) our TV is best. The big 4 were going down hill due to try to apeal to the mass market ... but digital has saved us all

i.e. BBC3/BBC4/Film4/More4 to name a few.

Get your self a hard drive and you never have to watch shit TV ever again. I tape enough each week to only watch good quality television.

er we have a hard drive .. tis true yeah we download stuff from film4 and BBC3/4 .. and we have a pay to view thingy for films and stuff which is generally quite good ...but we have huge holes where we just don't watch the TV at all.. Chrissi plays the piano and I read books and write ... I was just horrified by the utter utter shite on BBC1/2 and ITV I mean it's like the publics mental age has dropped to around 13 or 14 ..if that ...
