BBC iPlayer (the computer catch up service) doesn't allow access from
outside the UK due to copyright reasons. Even if it buys in programmes from
abroad, they only buy the rights to show them in the UK. Programmes are only
available in the UK via iPlayer for a month after broadcast, even if you
download them within the UK. It's probably true of the other TV channels'
catchup services as well.
IP addresses from outside the UK are blocked. Apparently it is possible to
use tools which hide your IP address so that you can view programmes
illegally. Details are available if you google.
The only legal way to watch TV programmes outside the UK would be if there
is a TV channel in your country which shows them.
