Can be done, by using a "sling box" see link below, basically you need soemone with a receiver box in UK (Sky / Virgin) & broadband connection, 1 bit of the sling box goes that end.
Your end you have broadband connection here / PC, sling box kit this end to the TV, you can even use the same sky + box here I understand allowing you to record progs etc, about £100 all in, or there abouts.

Yup - just use a UK proxy server and iplayer works fine

here you are
there is a way of watching bbc i player when i find the link i'll post it
Now then tallig, me thinks you protesteth FAR too much!!!!
For the record, I don't watch any of them. I just saw them on the program guide. Honest.
ha ha thanks guys you must think i'm really sad, but we all have our vices and stenders and corrie happen to be a couple of mine!!! I do draw the line at Emmerdale though lol :)
Showtime has Eastenders, Coronation Street & Emerdale. They're a few months behind the UK I think
Eastenders and Corrie are here on Showtime, I don't watch them so I don't know how far behind they are.

Thanks Ady, just checked it out, now that's better!! Guess Eastenders is out tho lol
Mozaic seems to be popular at the moment, though I go for Showtime _ it has UK programmes but is mostly US shows.
It comes with BBC Prime and BBC Lifestyle.
It will cost about 800quid a year for one of the better packages

All British channels on the internet do not work outside the UK, It's a real pain.
