I heard somewhere that BBC iplayer was launching overseas, for a fee !. It is very frustrating for us expats to not be able to watch the BBC output or any of our native channels for that matter. It's all to do with "rights".
The stupid thing is of course is that most if not all expats now use torrents to watch the stuff that they would probably happily pay for.
In my own situation I used to torrent music, then spotify came along and I haven't touch a music torrent since. Luckily spotify only seem to region lock their initial sign up not their streams. If ONLY the BBC did the same !!.
I guarantee they release an worldwide BBC iplayer I would happily sign up AND PAY.
