When you travel abroad it's pleasant to maintain that link to dwelling. If you choose to reside or work there it can be even more significant. For me when I dwelt and worked in Turkey for 6 months there was really little I missed aprt from my favourite TV stations. I didn't realise how much I'd miss the news, Newsnight, Match of the Day and only the general documentaries and amusement on the primary TV channels. Certainly there's some excellent shows and humors on US TV but the cost you pay is generally incessant advertising breaks ever few minutes. Of course this is actually the age of the internet and all the TV stations in Britain spread the majority of their content online. BBC iPlayer and ITV player work incredibly well and are really easy to use. At first glance it appears so easy, just fire up your laptop (or connect it to the TV) then you see the BBC news everynight. However there's a catch, it does not work outside the UK, at least it did not until I video about watching UK TV abroad
