Yes, you can. It's just on the telly here (non-UK). Has been so for as long as I can remember.It's sad you can't legally watch BBC outside UK, even if you'd like to pay for it. In my case, even 1,5 m dish isn't sufficient and I'd need one of a size that army would use, which is quite suspicious and rather inpractical.
Unfortunately, I'd rather pay to the beeb than our national broadcaster (but don't want to move to the UK just for that reason).
