Watching a Channel 5 TV Programme on Computer

We cannot get Channel 5 where we live, and we do not have Sky at the present time.

I am wishing to view a channel 5 programme on my computer, in much the same way I can watch Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 on computer if I have missed the programme on my TV.

Can anyone give me a link for this please, as I cannot seem to find one.

    I think Loobeylou means Channel 5 in general... is there a catch-up service for C5 like for the other main channels that allows watching of live TV or failing that, an on-demand service? (the ones that force you to download the proggy first via P2P are I think a waste of time).

    Can't OP use Freeview?

    Otherwise they have a pay per view service for their American programs - http://download.five.tv/

    You are correct in your assumption Buglawton - it is actually the Oprah Winfrey show in particular that I would like to watch, and I believe it is on C5.

    PS - We cannot get Freeview either!

    Can anyone help on this one? To be honest I am not totally certain it is on C5, but if anyone knows any information as to where I can view the shows it would be appreciated.

    It was on ITV2 but I think it's off the air at the moment so no wonder you couldn't find it on TV as it's technically now not being shown on any terrestrial channel in the UK, so I doubt you could get it online legally anywhere. Closest thing would be the official youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/oprah.
