Step-by-Step Guide: How to Watch BBC iPlayer in Singapore

Why Doesn't the BBC iPlayer work in Singapore?

BBC iPlayer is limited to the United Kingdom only. Even if you have paid for a UK TV license, you can’t watch BBC iPlayer in Singapore or anywhere else. Why? BBC iPlayer uses IP tracking to easily detect and block your access if you are outside the United Kingdom. If you try to access BBC iPlayer in Singapore, this message will appear.

This happens because BBC iPlayer can check your IP (Internet Protocol) address and determine whether you are in the UK or not. You can get a British IP address to convince BBC iPlayer that you are residing in the UK, even though you are currently in Singapore or anywhere else. This is where a VPN comes in.

A VPN can help you connect to a third-party server and make it look like you are residing somewhere in the United Kingdom. The best part is that a VPN works on many streaming devices so you won’t face any trouble in using PureVPN and unlocking BBC iPlayer.

(Note: What’s an IP address? Simply put, an IP address is your internet address. It is a 4-part number that is assigned to your internet device. Just like your house has a permanent address, your device has a unique internet address that identifies you to websites and services, providing details like your ISP and the country you are located in, which is known as IP address. You can check your IP address by typing “IP Address” on the Google search.)
