BBC iPlayer is the free streaming service from the UK TV broadcaster, BBC.
It’s a streaming service with catchup and live TV, covering drama, films, sport, news, documentaries, lifestyle, comedy, and there’s also a couple of children’s channels too. You’ll find regional channels covering Scotland and Wales, with programmes in Welsh language and Scottish Gaelic. It also has a dedicated channel covering the music and news of BBC Radio 1.
The BBC is renowned for great TV programming.
They offer a huge variety of British TV entertainment. There’s masses of sport (Match of the Day, Snooker World Championships), great UK soaps (Eastenders, Doctors, Casualty), breathtaking drama (Dr Who, Killing Eve, His Dark Materials), hilarious comedy (Little Britain, Alan Partridge, Peter Kay’s Car Share) and so much more.
The BBC iPlayer is exclusively available to UK residents. Viewers are expected to hold a UK TV Licence to watch, download or stream any of the iPlayer content. BBC iPlayer is available on a host of different platforms and is built into most UK smart TVs, Freeview, Roku and Sky hardware. It’s also built into the major games consoles too.
The BBC iPlayer channels currently consist of:
It’s easy. StreamLocator will make the BBC iPlayer think you’re a UK resident. Our router provides you with a UK location to convince the iPlayer software you’re right where you need to be. Once it sees your United Kingdom location, you can start streaming its programs.
With the hard work done for you, all you have to do is sit back, pick a channel, and enjoy your viewing!
How can I use BBC iPlayer outside the UK? There isn’t any special software to download or any settings that need adjusting. You don’t even have to organise your servers. Once the router is plugged in, it’s always on and ready for action—and it will work with every one of your devices.
How great is that? Log on to BBC iPlayer for your Eastenders catch up, free. Or how about watching the Bee movie, Casualty, or The Great British Sewing Bee? They're all there, ready and waiting—online or via your Smart TV.

You can access it from anywhere in your home, from as many devices as you need. Our amazing router will link different devices to different countries and services all at the same time.
You’ve never known a system like it!
Why does the BBC iPlayer not work outside the UK? The BBC iPlayer uses geolocation technology to identify users that are in the UK and only permits those residents to access its channels. iPlayer is one of the leading streaming services to cause real difficulties for many VPN services trying to access its content. It can also prevent some of the best Smart DNS systems from breaking in too.
But not StreamLocator!
Just plug it in and play! StreamLocator seamlessly integrates with your system to provide iPlayer content as easily as if you were in the UK.
You’ll need to register a free account with the BBC to access the iPlayer, which means providing a date of birth, UK postcode and an email address.
Okay, if you're wondering how to watch BBC TV online from outside the UK, here's how.
VPN software or DNS switching can help provide one way of accessing the BBC iPlayer. They are 2 of the most common ways to get around the geolocation blockers streaming TV software uses. And that includes the BBC iPlayer geolocation blocks.
A VPN is an excellent option for if you’re out and about and using public WiFi in a café, restaurant, or any other public space. They provide excellent protection from hackers or nosey users on a shared network, from snooping around your data. It's certainly an option for watching BBC iPlayer away from home.
However, if you’re looking for a way to access foreign TV services from home, there’s nothing quite like StreamLocator. It’s definitely the best choice when it comes to watching BBC iPlayer channels.

All the calculations, locations and settings are sorted for you. You don’t have to worry about anything apart from what you’re going to watch.
