It has just been brought to my attention by earlfoolish that the use of the BBC iPlayer contributes to the rating of the show. So, if you watch via an unaffiliated livestream/watch/download link, your interest in the show will not be registered by the BBC, which is kind of doing Sherlock a disservice.
If you already have a plan of action to watch REIC this afternoon, I don’t suggest that you bend over backwards in order to take this information into account. However, I do recommend that, if you plan to re-watch the episode after it’s aired, you do so via the iPlayer website.
The iPlayer does have a livestream of BBC One, but, as you are probably already aware, you must change your IP address to that of the UK in order access it. Also, the add on Stealthy does not work with the iPlayer’s livestream, although it works perfectly well with the episode once it’s been uploaded to the site (5-10 mins after the show ends). Expat Shield works fine with both.
Anonymous asked: wait wait wait i'm confused will the reichenbach fall be the finale FOREVER or just another episode because if it's the finale forever i am going to start crying ;__;
No, this is not the last season of Sherlock. Reichenbach is the last episode of series 2 and is going to be extremely emotionally draining, but it will not be the last.
Hey guys.
As everyone knows, today is The Reichenbach Fall. And whether you’re a Sherlockian or just enjoy watching the series, we all know the importance of watching this episode immediately. So, took make immediate viewing faster, I’ve compiled a list of stream links that do not have limits. PLEASE REBLOG SO EVERYONE WHO NEEDS TO SEE THIS POST CAN SEE IT! Here they are:
- http://mypremium.tv/em/141/s1.shtml?reload=1325083436352
- http://tvpc.com/Channel.php?ChannelID=3
- http://tvpc.com/Channel.php?ChannelID=6423
- http://livetvcafe.net/video/X6R47664W52Y/BBC-ONE
- http://nowwatchtvlive.com/2011/08/bbc-one-live-watch-bbc-one-uk-online-free-bbc-one-channel/
- http://tvpc.com/Channel.php?ChannelID=6423.
Please reblog so people can watch these as soon as they can. I’ve been able to watch both episodes using these links. The episode will air at 9pm in London and 4pm EST.
If you have any more links to add to the list, please message me so I can update the list.
And if you wanted to rematch the first two episodes:
- A Scandal in Belgravia - http://www.putlocker.com/file/C3F4989975B70E80
- The Hounds of Baskerville - http://www.putlocker.com/file/C8D7E88929458E27#
For those who don’t know whether they’re going to use a livestream or not, the advantages of using a livestream to watch Sherlock live are pretty obvious (you’re watching it live!); the disadvantages, on the other hand, are that some livestreams are not very high quality, and many are prone to crashing (especially on such an important night as this).
Also keep in mind that the links above have been broadcasted to thousands of Sherlock viewers via Tumblr, and so are virtually guaranteed to be clogged up with traffic at 4:00 this afternoon. This may be perfectly fine for some livestreams, as there are those that manage large amounts of traffic well and on a regular basis, but others may not fair so well.
SO, having said that, I would like to stress that you should always have a back-up plan. I’ve decided not to run the risk and am going to watch Reichenbach at 5:45 from BBC iPlayer with a group of friends. ~HAPPY FIGURING THIS SHIT OUT~
