Either way this beckons a new era in entertainment, hopefully ITV and Channel 4 will follow suit!]]>Jan 17th 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/Jan 17th 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/

Whats exactly is the point of putting live tv broadcasts on the WORLD WIDE WEB that are only viewable by UK domains.

I say this, because it seems only be a UK phenomenon, unlike the other european countrieslike germany and holland where much of their live tv programming is avaible to anyone.

Also (as you probably know) the BBC is state funded, they have a duty to make it as easily accessible to the uk public. However, it's not impossible that eventually the BBC's content will go worldwide on a pay-for or ad-supported basis. (I believe this is already planned/proposed for the BBC News website.]]>Jan 17th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/
And in those same ways US people can see most major British shows.

It all happens through Slingbox. A company like this should also provide a real UK internet connection at an appropriate up speed for streaming video.

Free-to-air satellite digital channels are available to check out on Freeview. Sky also has a box providing a similar service. It's a bit like a Dish vs DirecTV duopoly.

Failing all that, the only way I could see to do it otherwise would be to find a proxy server in a UK domain and continue to swap your servers as needed.

Back in the day, I had a UK buddy I'd swap videotapes with, paying postage as needed and having the VHS tapes (he had a world-standard recorder) show up about seven days after playing. If my buddy and I were still watching that much TV, I'd have him put the "other brand" of box on his house somewhere and connect it to Sling. On my part, I'd just get a digital-to-analog connector box and point it at the transmitters. (Or is that step necessary?)]]>Jan 17th 2008 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/Jan 17th 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/Jan 17th 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/Jan 17th 2008 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/bbc-thinking-of-bringing-iplayer-to-revamped-apple-tv/
