The problem with streaming from the UK or any country outside your own is that the source frequently does not have the distribution rights for your country. They know what country you are in by your IP address and will refuse your stream request.

All Bell customers automatically have the right to request a stream of most of the programming you subscribe to so you can watch it anytime.

In addition, if you subscribe to the Movie package as part of your Bell package, you can request a stream of any of their programs through TMN Go. If you have a mobile device, you can stream to it from these sources.
I think that Darcie wants to stream programming that Bell doesn't offer!

I wonder if BBC-UK would block streaming to Canada?

I figure from the link I posted that this is overcome when subscribing to Tunnel Bear, my girlfriend not only streams BBC UK but also many others from the UK.

That tunnelbear freebie is not of much use because the free 500MB per month won't stream you more than a few minutes of a movie.
But the unlimited for $5 might be a good idea.

$5 = 1 latte.

Carol, my friend has it and says she watches all she wants.

Perhaps your friend Carol is like me and falls asleep about 5 minutes into a movie!

Wildie, I just want to watch UK television, I personally am not much into movies, they have to be really really good for me to stay awake.

Nope, $5 is 60 cups of coffee.
Latte indeed. oooh 02 Bah, humbug.

So, what are these British shows you are so enamored of?
