31. If youre into British TV

There’s a way to watch it for free. ITV, Channel 4 and BBC are all viewable using a VPN which makes their sites think you’re in the UK. It requires you to enter a post code (the equivalent of American zip codes)
I found examples of U.K. post codes online and entered one. Piece of cake. I’m barely able to turn on a computer so pretty much anyone can do it. Since I don’t like watching stuff on my computer I just run an hdmi cable from laptop to the TV. I’ve been able to watch a lot of shows that aren’t available in the US (Four in a Bed, This Country, etc.) and pretty much everything is available on demand. It required a bit of effort but well worth the time.
