because of copyright, you are not allow to watch iplayer, itv or 4oD if you are outside the UK. how they determine where you are is via the geo-ip. if your ip range is not in the UK, then no streaming tv for you. so what you need to do is to point your ip into a UK proxy server.
as for slingbox, all you need to do is to plug the tv aerial in, and network cable into a broadband router in the UK, and then configure the slingbox. the slingbox solo has freeview built-in, therefore you can watch all the freeview channels. on your PC in singapore, you install the slingbox client and point it to the slingbox in UK and that's it.
a slingbox is not "catch up", so if you want to watch your eastender, you need to stay up late!
so this is a break down of what you need and in which country...
UK - a slingbox solo (for freeview or even sky channels if you want! you will need a sky digibox), broadband connection, a router.
singapore - a computer, broadband connection.
