Often the expense and time involved in setting up to watch BBC abroad is massive. Big Satellite dishes, motors, satellite boxes, subscriptions, engineers & installation fees, it goes on. All the BBC abroad is available for free over the internet via BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five. BBC and ITV have all their live channels broadcasted in HD so there is real TV experience or watching programmes on demand so you don’t miss a thing. A laptop is also very easy to connect to TV. All TVs and computers have ports that easily allow a cable or wireless connection that output exactly what’s on the computer screen. Therefore, one can watch BBC abroad sitting at home.
But, there now exists a simple, fast and light weight solution – Internet TV. The requirements are: high speed internet connection (minimum 1 mb), a computer (laptop, PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad or Smart phones) and a VPN (Virtual Private Network) account. The reason why BBC iplayer is funded by the UK TV license; if the TV license is not applied for and paid, then there is no right to watch BBC iplayer abroad. What the BBC site does is checking the location of computer through its IP address. Every device connected to the Internet has an IP address given to it, this address has a physical location attached to it. So if the spectator is overseas the IP address discloses to all about it.
All that is required is to fool the system, thinking as if the user is located in the UK; here the UK IP address is required.
The two main methods are with a proxy server, where all traffic is essentially filtered and sent via another computer OR with a Virtual Private Network, which goes a step further and essentially replaces local ISP with a different connection.
There is no reason to know anything about either, they can both be used to watch BBC iPlayer abroad, and VPNs have the slight advantage in that they allow to download shows from BBC iPlayer as well as watching them live.

There are winners and there are losers in life.  Sometimes the winners look like losers, and the losers may look like winners.  Appearances are often deceiving; however, generally people who have made it look the part.  They have an aura of success.  They carry themselves well and look like they are on top of the world, which they probably are.  They may have worked hard to get there, but they have found that winners have the better part.

Everyone wants to win.  Losing is not fun, and no one would choose it.  Whether it is in sports or the business world, winning is the ultimate goal.  It is sought after by all whether it is in a home based business or the corporate world.  Motivation to do what it takes makes winners..

If you are not a winner, it might be well to watch the winners.  See what they do that makes the difference.  How do they find success?  What are they doing that is different than what you are doing? 

You may have heard the advice that if you want to learn secrets from a rich person, you should take him out to dinner.  You may feel reluctant to invite him, thinking that he should pay for dinner.  After all, he is the one who has lots of money.  If he doesn’t ask you, it may be beneficial for you to invite him and to pay for it.  Pick his brain and find out some of his secrets.

Competition is a part of daily living.  It is a race to see who comes out on top.  All of life is a game to see who will win.  There are always people vying for the same trophies and the same prizes.

Some advice given by those on top suggests that people need to think of themselves as winners.  Whether they are or not, they need to act the part if they are ever to achieve those goals.  Act like you are already there.

We have all heard about some poor people who have little of the material goods of life but who are happy.  They may be winners at the game of life because they have learned that success does not always mean having the most money, but it can be a feeling of well being and happiness that comes from other aspects of life.  Winning does not always have to mean having the most fame or money.

If you do want what the apparent winners have, it is a good idea to watch what they do.  Study their actions and their practices to see how they have achieved their goals.  Learn to put into your own life some of the aspects of life which have worked for them.

The spoils of life do not always go to the fastest and the brightest.  Working hard and keeping at it can bring the success which a person seeks.

Winners come in all shapes and sizes.  It may be a matter of just moving forward with zeal and becoming one of them. Watch the winners succeed and then let others watch you when you arrive at your goals. You may be a winner already, and you can help others find success.
