You can access British TV, both live and "catch up", via your computer through a number of different sources which will usually just give you links to the primary sources such as BBC, ITV, Sky etc.
The key is to trick those primary sources into thinking that your computer is based in the UK, as the programs are not licensed to be shown elsewhere.
You can do this yourself for free by using a proxy server (such as FoxyProxy - no relation) or through a subscription service (such as Acorn).
Either way, because of the licensing, it is probably illegal.
The PBS website usually allows you to watch a number of UK "catch up" programs for free and that, of course, is legal.
