TV Corner: How to Watch Sherlock Outside of the UK

Happy New Year! Tonight Sherlock Season 3 premieres in the UK on BBC, but we in the US have to wait until January 19 to watch it on PBS due to exclusive rights (but really I want to know why it just doesn't air on BBC America considering how popular it is). However, what if I told you that everyone outside of the UK doesn't have to wait until it airs in their country to view it? In this post, I'll tell you how to watch Sherlock legally, no torrents!

In order to watch Sherlock outside of the UK without waiting for it to air in your country, we're going to have to go to BBC's Iplayer. As you try to watch something (Doctor Who in this example), it says the following:

Not a problem. What we're going to do is download the Hola Unblocker. It's available on Google Chrome or Firefox (I'll be using Chrome in this example). When the extension downloads, go to any TV show on BBC's Iplayer with the extension turned on. When it's on, the video should be able to play!

Now as for when Sherlock will be on the Iplayer, it airs in the UK at 9 PM GMT, so that would be 4 PM EST/1 PM PST. However, episodes don't get up on the Iplayer until a few hours after it broadcasts, so if I had to guess I'd say it'll be up 7 PM EST/4 PM PST.

Thanks for reading, enjoy!
