Hi All,

Im embarassed to say that I follow the american version of the 'Bachelor', which airs Mondays on ABC. My time to escape

As I'm neither a techie or have TV at home, does anyone know of any online solution to get these TV shows in full real time or real enough time, without resorting to little clippets on you tube? even if its paid.

Many thanks!

I do not know paid services when it comes to American television, but you most often can torrent episodes within an hour after broadcasting.

Hi Beetie!

I run a VPN to watch US netflix and subscribe to Hulu. I'm not a Bachelor fan, but feel the need to keep up with Modern Family and such. Hulu is $10 a month and has a decent, up to date selection. The VPN is about $8.

We use Apple TV. Current shows are usually on there by noon the next day.

If you have a smart TV (the new generation ones), there is an app called Zattoo that you can install - basically it's a tv streaming app.

30 hrs/month come for free

beyond 30hrs there is a fee you need to pay - check the website for details

Obviously make sure the US channel is present in their list of channels.

Zattoo is completely free for the standard service which now (I just saw) includes 50 HD channels. Recording is restricted to max 20 programs for 20 days.

If you pay them you get more recording, more HD and 7 days on-demand TV

Youtube.

I have a similar affliction for another show, and am able to view episodes on youtube within an hour of transmission.

You can watch any series here for free.

Hi MegsB

well other than knowing what VPN stands for, I dont know how to set up one of those how do I get one?

11
yes there is youtube of course but its really hard finding the current episodes in full length because they get blocked and then there is just the 'Click to Subscribe here' in big flashing letters, and Ive tried following the links for that but it just seems weird...

and of course I can watch old episodes, but thats just not the same...

12
and to the contributors talking about TV...I dont have Apple TV or Smart TV...

13
just my laptop and a wifi connection

14
Zattoo can also be used on the laptop

For most shows I usually just google for the 'streaming'. Majority are on one of the first few clicks.

Fighting with popups, ads, and dead links can be expected.

alluc and beetv are pretty good too.
