*NOTE: I am NOT asking for an invite. I'm very happy to go through the normal channels (IRC, Discord, application, etc).

I think TV Chaos is probably the best current tracker for British TV? I saw that they haven't had open signups for a number of years. Tried joining their chat and didn't get any replies.

Basically looking to get recent seasons of British reality TV (TOWIE, Baby Steps, Love Island, etc) and having a hard time. I'm currently on IPT and TorrentLeech and it's slim pickings. The public trackers don't seem much better (1337z, EXTV, TorrentGalaxy). Any help would be appreciated!

A lot of these shows are free on their respective streaming service (ITVX for Love Island for example), are you not able to use a VPN to access them?

I'll have to try again. Originally I tried with Mullvad (prior to the port-forwarding implosion) and ITVX kept throwing errors. I wonder if it had issues with my device's timezone as another matey mentioned? I'm on Windscribe now so might try that.

ExpressVPN works for me, from outside the UK. This is without changing system time on any of my devices; Tv, laptop, mobile. You do have to carefully select with UK server you use, some of them have been blacklisted.
