As an example - there are sites like this [proxy4free.com] all over the place_

On the left side margin at that link is a list of several pages of Proxy Addresses with a location of where they are_

I haven't really gotten into watching streaming content from the UK as it's easier to browse the Torrent sites_ However - I do like to go out to the BBC and simply browse their programming sites and read back info on various shows or see what's going on with the next episode or whatever_

I wouldn't use the software that site recommends as it's costly - but there are plenty of open-source Apps out there to do the job_ I went thru a few UK labeled IP Addresses from those lists until I found one that worked_ Added it to Proxy Software and had no problem browsing the BBC Media Sites_ As far as the BBC Servers knew I was showing up form within the UK [all the way from the US]_

But without a Proxy IP running it blocks me and says for licensing purposes I cannot view BBC content outside the UK_ Which is BS and it sucks_

Summary:
- Proxy App
- Proxy IP running in App
- browse BBC blocked content outside UK
- the end
