Akinomaki 41,814 Posted October 11 (edited) Pluto TV isn't available at my location, but the BBC allows accounts to be created for viewers from other countries - I wonder if that would be enough to be able to watch the live streams Edit: Pluto TV wasn't available because I hadn't turned off the VPN for Japan Edited October 12 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingo 1,477 Posted October 11 Usually BBC iPlayer content is not available outside the UK without VPN. I suspect the same will happen with sumo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octofuji 431 Posted October 12 This link mentions a sumo photo exhibition free to attend for ticket holders, and also for anyone on the Saturday, as part of the "free entry open day".

Wakawakawaka 217 Posted October 13 (edited) Is BBC iPlayer free? Also I checked the Pluto TV route again (since it's built into my TV)... Fubo TV will be airing it, but since there's no recording, and since I work those hours, I'm screwed on that front. Edited October 13 by Wakawakawaka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
