Software to fool others of your whereabouts?

It is possible to watch the last seven days broadcasting on BBC TV on their iPlayer. However, for licensing reasons, they restrict access to users located within the UK. But I understand there is software available which can confuse the technology which identifies your location.

Guys, we don't talk about how to get around the proxying/filtering in the UAE here on the site.
