F1 Fanatic

Not mean to sound like a twat but will there be any links available?

I live in Sweden.
The only channels I can get is BBC Knowledge, BBC Lifestyle, BBC Entertainment and BBC World News.

But I can stream BBC One and Two. (and is there a proper channel called BBC Formula 1?)
Online, is just for people who live in the UK.

You can get it live on the BBC F1 website. Or on the Red Button. But it’s the same stream either way.

How do you use that Proxyplayer? What exactly does it do?

@Polishboy Step by step instructions are provided. But in essence, you download a client that sits in your systray, a zip is sent to you by proxyplayer with some settings files in it. You put those files in a folder, boot up the client, and hit connect.

When you’ve done that, you’re connected to another machine in the UK, and you are effectively surfing the net from the UK.

The above is called a VPN, or Virtual Private Network.

This is not to be confused with a Proxy Server, which in my experience, doesn’t allow you to watch live events on the Beeb, but you can watch iPlayer on demand programs and a number of others. VPN allows you to do more or less anything you want, using a UK internet connection, which is why I keep my account active.

though http://hotspotshield.com/ looks worth a try too, says it’s free… which usually means the bandwidth is much less reliable.

Download the client.
Works brilliantly

and the name you’re thinking of is…… ;)
