*NOTE: I am NOT asking for an invite. I'm very happy to go through the normal channels (IRC, Discord, application, etc).

I think TV Chaos is probably the best current tracker for British TV? I saw that they haven't had open signups for a number of years. Tried joining their chat and didn't get any replies.

Basically looking to get recent seasons of British reality TV (TOWIE, Baby Steps, Love Island, etc) and having a hard time. I'm currently on IPT and TorrentLeech and it's slim pickings. The public trackers don't seem much better (1337z, EXTV, TorrentGalaxy). Any help would be appreciated!

I use Smart DNS Proxy on my media PC to access British TV streaming channels. It has been working flawlessly for me for years, watching BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, 4 On Demand etc accessing from Canada. You may also have to set your windows system time to a UK timezone too - I think BBC in particular can sometimes detect you otherwise. You don't necessarily have to change your entire PC DNS settings as they recommend - you can set a specific browser to use their DNS and just use that for TV.

this is probably the best solution. I also used a vpn to watch BBC iPlayer
