When you travel abroad it is pleasant to keep that connection to home. It can be even more important if you decide to live or work there. For me when I dwelt and worked in Turkey for 6 months there was very little I missed aprt from my favourite TV stations. I did not realise how much I'd miss the news, Newsnight, Match of the Day and merely the general documentaries and entertainment on the main TV channels.It's often said that British TV is some of the best in the world, but you know it really is true. Sure there's some excellent shows and comedies on US TV but the price you pay is typically incessant advertising breaks ever few minutes. Naturally here is the exact age of the internet and all of the TV stations in Britain broadcast the majority of their content online. ITV player and bBC iPlayer function exceptionally well and are very easy to use.Channels 4 and 5 have something similar and if you have a SKY subscription - Sky Go is really impressive. At first glance it looks so easy, just fire up your laptop (or connect it to the TV) afterward you see the BBC news everynight. But there's a catch, it does not work outside the UK, at did not until I found this video about watching UK TV abroad
