How to watch Rai 1 online from abroad?

Posted on October 30, 2012May 18, 2017 by worldcityguides

I would like to watch Rai 1 online (Rai Uno), but I get a message that I do not have permission to watch the broadcast, because I am not in Italy at the moment. Can you help me?

This is a very typical problem and we have written about this in similar articles in general about how to watch Italian TV from outside Italy and in the article about how to get an Italian IP address. The answer is the same in this article as in the earlier articles, which is a VPN connection to an Italian server.

Watch Uno Rai from outside Italy — We are sorry. The content is not available due to copyright restrictions. (Rai.tv error message)

If you see the error message as on the image above this text, then the solution is to subscribe to HideMyAss and make a one month, six month or a 12 month subscription. After making the subscription you can download the software, and after that you can easily connect to a server in Italy. After the connection is made you should restart your web browser and then you will see the site as someone watching it from Italy, and in seconds and minutes you can be watching Rai.tv and the different channels online. We are writing this article from outside Italy and now, after connecting to a server in Italy with HideMyAss we get the following picture, as seen below:

Good luck and enjoy watching Rai 1 from outside Italy!

How to get an Italian IP address?

Posted on October 16, 2012May 18, 2017 by worldcityguides

We have earlier written an article about how to watch Italian TV from outside Italy, and the principle of that article is very much the same as the principle behind how to get an Italian IP address. In fact the answer is the same!

There might be various reasons for you needing an Italian IP address, but the answer to your question and what can help you is a VPN connection to a server in Italy. A VPN is a Virtual Private Network, some sort of a tunnel, which connects you to the given server in Italy, and as of then all your surfing on the internett will look like it origins from Italy, thus also giving you an Italian IP address.

There are quite some services providing such help, but the best one, at least in our eyes based on our own testing and experiences, is HideMyAss. They offer you a subscription lasting for a month, 6 months or maybe even a year, and the prices are not high. They also offer you a software which you can use to easily connect to a server in the country you request. Thus you will not only be able to get an Italian IP address, but also a Spanish IP address, a Hungarian IP address, a Norwegian IP address or whatever sort of IP address you are in need of.

Yet another bonus is the fact that the connection is encrypted, meaning that others will not be able to spy on your internet activity. This is especially useful if you use open WiFi connections around which are easy to track and get your info. With this solution you will stay safe, and your private information will be kept private.

For more information, visit HideMyAss.

As mentioned earlier this is for example ideal if you need to visit some webpage which have content limited to visitors located in Italy. Connecting from abroad this is then unavailable, but if you connect using your username and password from HideMyAss you will easily be able to connect to the Italian server, and in five minutes from now you can get your hands on all the content only available to those in Italy!

Ps: In many cases you need to restart your browser after connecting to the server, so make sure to do that if it does not work on first try! If you want to check out whether you have succeeded in achieving an Italian IP address or not you can check your IP address here.

How to watch Italian TV only available to those located in Italy?

How can I watch Italian television online in my own country? Not the normal broadcasts, but those who seem to do not work for viewers watching from outside Italy?

Thank you for the question. Many TV channels allow their broadcasts to be seen abroad throughout the year, with no problems. But other channels, and especially during special championships, sports events, Olympics and so on close their broadcasts so that viewers from other nations can not see these broadcasts. The problem is there for many, but there are some solutions to the problem. The solution is for the webpage of the TV channel somehow to believe that you are located in Italy. But, how can you do that? It is not really that hard, and there are quite some services online who can help you with this. one of this is HideMyAss. If you go to their webpage and register for a small amount of money you can download their software and later without any problems set up your internet connection to have an Italian IP address. And with an Italian IP address the problem has been solved, and you can watch whatever content limited for Italian viewers only. The good thing is that this is not only working for Italy, but if you later would like to see online content limited to viewers in England only, this program/service will solve the problem again.

We have tried the service ourselves and it worked fine with us (a great thing during the Summer Olympics in London 2012), so we can recommend this service for this kind of usage. For more information, visit their webpage.
