Advice / steer needed.

My wife watches a series called Location Location Location. (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/location-location-location) It airs on Channel 4 in the UK. I've managed to get copies of some of the seasons, but am struggling to find copies of seasons 22 to 24. As such, I'm investigating how to go about streaming the service. The intent is for her to be able to watch the past seasons, as well as current.

My setup at home is WDTVLive in the bedroom, (which she uses mostly), and XBMC in the lounge. 10Mbps ADSL.

I've checked Netflix UK, and they don't have the show on their catalogue. Same with Netflix USA. (I'm not setup on netflix or any other streaming service yet, as most of my series i watch based on downloads from EZTV / PUT.IO). I've also check iPlayer - no luck there.

Looking at Channel 4's website, it does provide an option to setup an account to stream. I just don't want to do that yet, as i'm not sure if i need a UK address, etc, etc.

Thus, is anybody out there streaming this show? And if so, how?

You will struggle since they've only just aired season 20 ep 9.

There are many UK specific torrent sites - tvchaos being one off the top of my head. ,

4oD has tons of LLL episodes but I'm not if it's all of them though and of course you need to be able to get around the geoblocking. Quite a few seasons are recaps too.

Also, Channel 4 are notorious for messing around with their series numbering so don't be surprised if things don't make sense sequentially :)
 
The series numbering is a bit weird. I have the whole of either 20 or 21, and then got 25e01. Screwey - thus, my assumption is that 22 to 24 should be around - could not find it on the usual torrent sites i frequent.

@lawries72 - I'll check tvchaos this evening - cannot via the office. Regarding geoblocking - is anybody locally make use of 4oD and thus can give me some pointers?

@agentrfr - Never used usenet - will check that as well a bit later.

I just accessed it now via their website and didn't have any problems viewing it - presumable because I'm a Unotelly subscriber. My advice is to sign up for a free trial (unotelly.com) and see for yourself.

FWIW Channel 4 considers their latest episode, Bournemouth and Poole, to be Series 20, episode 9. Why that differs from other naming conventions is unknown to me.

Thanks bwana - do you then have a channel 4 account as well? Just trying to understand the mechanics of it - streaming is new to me
 
Tvchaos reckons the latest episode is s22e01

Channel 4 HD

Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer return with a brand new series as they search from England's south coast up to the Scottish lowlands. In this episode they scour Bournemouth and Poole for family homes.

... here's what they have:

I think ITV asks you for a postcode to watch anything but C4 uses an account so you can create a profile but not to actually get access.

In any case do the unotelly trial thing and see how it goes for you. We have practically canned dstv and live off UK and Australian streaming (did you know there's also a LLL AU series?).
 
Yes, saw the Aussie series. Got the trial of unotelly setup a couple of minutes ago. Could immediately stream the series to my laptop (Windows 8.1 with Chrome Browser). Then logged off on my laptop, and logged on to 4oD on my wife's ipad - could login fine, but when selecting a show to watch, i get the error " Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid".

It then redirects me to a page for tablets with a link to the App Store. When i click on that link, it gives me a message to the effect that the app i want is not in the US store, but only the UK store. Thus, i cannot download it.

Damn, i was sooo close....

Going to keep working on this - any ideas out there?
 
OK - so current status is that i still cannot get the ipad sorted for 4oD. I have, though, in the meantime setup Netflix USA on the ipad and my galaxy tab, as well as the WD TV Live.

Will continue with this saga tomorrow:)
