Hi fellow TV Fourmers... Please may you help with this one...

Am trying to find a website where I can watch LIVE TV from the UK, (mainly BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4 and Five) without the need of downloading anything - a website simular in ways to YouTube for example.
Other channels would be great to watch too like E4, and Fiver etc but all in one website. I know there are many websites that allow LIVE or catch up streaming from shows/programmes from the UK via the above channels but they do not work outside the UK not even BBC One live, BBC iPlayer or ITV streaming!!

Thanks soooooo much in advance guys and girls!

tvcatchup does not let content to be accessed if you are outside the UK...!!!
I would be happy to pay a subscription fee, that is not a problem, lol!

Have you tried installing Hotspot Shield and seeing if it manages to fool the site into allowing you on. It allows me in the UK to use Hulu, so 'could' work the other way around. People have said it works for iPlayer apparently.

Only works for American sites, I tried that when I was over there. The best way to watch TV outside the UK is using a UK proxy or VPN service (which you may have to pay a fee, but its about 6 quid per month)

justin.tv sometimes has people from the UK rebroadcasting UK channels but its very hit and miss and I'd be surprised if there were any 24/7 streams of a single channel.

On a related issue, does anyone know of a website that streams BBC World News? I used to use a website that did, but it no longer works.
