How to watch Live British TV abroad on your iPad & iPhone: BBC iPlayer, ITV, Channel 4 + more

Unlike the free guide to watch the BBC iPlayer and other British TV channels, this one is specifically for those of you with an iPad or iPhone. It costs just $55 a year to work, but it’s well worth it. About $4.50 a month when you calculate it. Bargain for live and on-demand British telly! It’s also good if you’re traveling to China or a country that restricts your access to the web, as the VPN access will unlock restrictions.

Note: This guide is geared towards British citizens who have traveled abroad and miss the delights of UK TV. Of course, if you’re a very naughty American wanting to see the premiere of Downton Abbey when it airs in the UK this autumn/fall, then I cannot stop you.

But don’t blame me if the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 helicopters swoop across the Atlantic and drag you from your garden in a steel box, straight to the Tower of London. It’s happened. A bloke down the pub told me.

There is a final optional step if you want to watch that lovely British telly on a big screen TV via a HDMI cable, so stick around for that if you own one of those swanky adapters.
