Does anyone have any experience of using this to watch BBC catch up? (We have no licence as we very rarely watch TV)

But of course if you have a TV license you still can't watch when abroad and you can't get a refund for the time you can't watch it .... Discuss that with your MP perhaps4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex .

Depending on which VPN you have, it's possible to watch BBC iplayer, 4 OD & the ITV hub.debitcardmayhem wrote: »But of course if you have a TV license you still can't watch when abroad and you can't get a refund for the time you can't watch it
I do this quite often and although I sometimes have to change vpn servers, this isn't much of a problem.0 -
So do I , but why do I, I pay the license fee ergo I should be able to watch wherever and whenever without messing about with VPNs. I have asked TV licensing for a rebate for when I can't , fat chance though:Dshaun_from_Africa wrote: »Depending on which VPN you have, it's possible to watch BBC iplayer, 4 OD & the ITV hub.

But it's your choice to be (at times) in a location where "broadcast" is not available, so why should TVL give a rebate?
Do you expect your car insurance to give a rebate just because you're overseas and can't drive your car?
Do you expect DVLA to give a rebate likewise? (This analogy is probably closest to TVL).

Nope , we take the car with us often, I just object to the BBC penalising the people who pay the bulk of their revenue4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex . Aint no sunshine ☀️ Octopus gas fixed dec 24 @ 5.74 tracker again+ Octopus Intelligent Flux leccy
