Can you view live UK racing from Australia?

post more

It has been asked before - and the general concensus is that your location blocks any such streams.... for what reason, I do not know why.

Similarly - in reverse - when UK posters have asked about watching Australian streams.... we get a likewise blocking.... even when trying to go through the often suggested bigpond.au

However - we get full coverage of Australian Racing on our Attheraces television Channel.

The coverage is the SkyRacingAustralia television programme - so ...

If you can watch SkyRacingAustralia - is there not some kind of reciprocal agreement - with SkyRacinmgAustralia broadcasting the Attheraces UK coverage?

Even so - Attheraces does NOT have ALL the UK racing - and most certainly does NOT have the majority of the better meetings - those being covered by the subscription channel RUK - RacingUK.

RacingUK have a (subscription) pictures streaming website - but with that would probably come the blocking problems.

Thanks for the reply. All this geo blocking is so ridiculous. In Australia we do get "some" live UK racing but very limited. I would actually pay for a UK video subscription service but the blocking might be a problem as you suggest.Cheers

Nearly all UK racing can be viewed through SKY Racing.

If you use a vpn, you'd be able to connect via a uk server and be able to access races shown on channel 4

There's also the tvcatchup app

RUKs coverage is available via mobile devices/ laptops etc in Australia. I have just spent five weeks in Queensland during September/October and there was no problem.

There are, obviously, or apparently, various scenarios for this.

For example - PAULBU - Was this on a Laptop that you had taken with you from the UK - thus possibly identified and recognised as a previous user by RUK?

Also - your subscription would have, presumably, been made in the UK - on a UK Bank Card ...
So, consequently, recognised as a UK account, when you went to Log-In.

Perhaps they, and others, do not accept subscriptions from outside the UK - and vice-versa with Australin sites from UK applicants.

Onlooker, yes, on a Laptop taken from the UK.
Also subscription originally taken out in the UK using a UK Bank Card.
My posting was to confirm that RUK is not blocked in Australia to people who are already subscribing.
