How to watch BBC3 in America

February 17, 2007 1:09 PM

I am in the U.S. How can I watch BBC 3? Specifically, I want to watch episodes of Freaky Eaters.

Anywhere to download or stream episodes, or stream BBC 3 itself? Or perhaps buy a cheap used DVD?

A DVD? AFAIK, the program just started airing... the first episode was on the 14th.

Same answer as this one. (Slightly obfuscated, because I so don't want it cease-and-desisted.)

OK, next question is: how does one sign up for the site holgate mentions? The sign-in page is always blank for me; what's a good time to check it?

Just keep checking. Uknova regularly "culls the herd" so to speak, but there's no set timescale.

If you're interested in waiting, some BBC programs may be available for legal download later this year.

Torrent to a myth type box?

That service will probably not be available to non-UK IP addresses. Note that they are only looking for comments from License-fee payers.

Jesus, BBC! Just let me pay a fucking license! I'd do it in a heartbeat, and then I could watch your programming and you'd have more revenue.

Some of us are even Brits living in other countries. (I'm a dual US/UK citizen.)
