Bbc Iplayer Abroad
Hi
Is it possible to access BBC Iplayer , sky player etc whilst you are outside the UK.
When I try to access these sites it says they are only available whist in the UK - I just wondered is there away around this.
Thanks

There is. But it's not legal (and/or against specific content license terms). Therefore NO.

gg,
BBC iPlayer - Terms of Use
and similar for Sky et. al., which your "license fee" argument certainly does not cover.
Furthermore, I believe the license fee is classified as a UK tax, therefore those accessing the service from abroad will be subject to terms of use because (as I understand it) the BBC has no powers to claim license fees from those abroad. But don't quote me on this.
