Key Facts
- Shellfire VPN allows you to access British television content from anywhere in India.
- Devices that lack native VPN support, like smart TVs, can utilise Shellfire VPN with the Shellfire Box.
- While it’s generally legal to stream British TV in India for personal use, it’s vital to respect each service provider’s terms of service.
How to Access British Streaming Services, Network Websites, and Apps from Anywhere in India?
Most British streaming services, network websites, and apps limit their content to users within the UK due to licensing agreements and copyright laws. They use geolocation technology, which identifies users’ locations via their IP addresses.
A Virtual Private Network, or VPN, enables you to bypass these restrictions. A VPN modifies your perceived location by replacing your IP address with one from a server based in the UK. Consequently, British streaming services see you as a viewer from the UK, letting you enjoy your beloved British shows.
To watch British TV from India using Shellfire VPN, follow these steps:
- Download the Shellfire VPN software that’s compatible with your device.
- Install the Shellfire VPN software on your device.
- Open the application and select the United Kingdom as your target country and server location.

Comparing British and Indian Content Libraries
The digital entertainment landscapes in the UK and India vary due to different licensing agreements. Here are some key differences:
Streaming Platforms: Netflix and Amazon Prime
Global platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime cater different content to British and Indian audiences:
- Netflix: While Netflix is globally available, the British version includes shows like “The Crown” and “Sherlock” that may not be available in India.
- Amazon Prime: Amazon Prime UK features unique local content, such as “Good Omens” and “Fleabag,” which typically isn’t accessible in other countries.
It’s important to note that we at Shellfire currently cannot guarantee the correct functioning of our service with Netflix due to potential changes in Netflix’s VPN detection and blocking mechanisms.
British Sports Programming
British broadcasts of sporting events, particularly Premier League football, rugby, and cricket matches, offer additional coverage, unique commentary, and special features not available in India.
British Network Websites and Apps
British network websites and apps, like BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, and Channel 4’s All4, offer exclusive content that’s typically inaccessible from outside the UK. Popular shows like “EastEnders” (BBC One), “Love Island” (ITV2), and “The Great British Bake Off” (Channel 4) are directly available on these platforms.
Here’s a handy reference table of some popular British TV channels that offer online streaming, both free and paid. Remember, accessing some of these services might require a VPN if you’re streaming from India.
