How To Watch UK/British TV in Cyprus
If like me you live in the United Kingdom and have a holiday home or semipermanent residence in Cyprus, you will know how difficult and expensive it can be just to keep up with your favourite BBC and ITV television programmes.
When you buy or rent a property in Cyprus you may be lucky enough to have a shared communal SKY satellite dish, if you have these chances are the satellite dish will be 4 m or more, if you haven't then they don't look so great on your patio they take up a huge amount of space on your roof terrace and more importantly they cost an absolute fortune just the dish alone it can cost over €600.
So then your options if you don't want to be encumbered with a huge satellite dish and a huge bill become fairly limited. You have Showtime which doesn't show you many of your favourite channels like BBC and ITV and again installation of a satellite dish, receiver and buying the Showtime package can cost in the region of €500-€600.
Also if you install satellite receivers and dishes it doesn't really give the option of having a portable viewing solution. So many people now are turning towards Internet based television viewing. Why? Cost, portability and channel variety.
If you have an old computer or old laptop lying around the house you can WATCH UK TV FROM CYPRUS [http://www.satcyprus.com/free-uk-tv/itv-and-itv-player-glitching-cyta-watch-uk-television-in-cyprus/] online for a very small monthly cost. This cost is for purchasing access to a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
What is a VPN? A VPN is a connection that makes your Internet connection appear that is based in another country. So when you are in Cyprus you connect normally via CYTA, Primtel or MTN these are your Internet service providers or ISPs. When you reach your website that website is able to detect that you are based in Cyprus and can even customise content to enhance your experience with the website, because it knows your location.
If you attempt to go onto BBC's or ITV's website while connected to your Cypriot ISP you will receive a message stating that you cannot view their content as you are located outside of the United Kingdom.
With a VPN, that gives you a dedicated UK/United Kingdom IP address, when you reach the BBC or ITV viewing website you will be able to watch UK TV online, because as far as their websites are concerned you're actually based in the UK, even though you're not.
So for around $15 per month you have access to the entire UK online television network, but also if you select your VPN provider carefully they will also give you USA, German, Italian, Dutch and even Japanese IP addresses as part of one package, which will enable you to view content and watch TV in say USA or Germany.
So just a simple VPN can give you a global presence and worldwide access to watch TV online.
