BBC iPlayer works!

Read this

I downloaded the software and it's free and really works!

I think with other services you'd normally pay 7 quid a month or something.

I'm watching it now and the speed is great

Cool. Nice one.

Tanx for the info. Im gonna download it when I get home.

It is very handy. I've been using it for about 6 months now, and find it great to catch up with things I've missed. I download programmes to keep to watch when I'm on a long journey. Great stuff.

it's in fact the UK version of anchofree's hotspot shield (which was giving you an US IP)

nice find, i'll try it later but what's the catch? how do they make their money? let us know if you get flooded with adverts at some point

Youre a fricken leg-end, will try this tonight.

Great! I found it a bit galling that I hd English TV, paid money to Billag, but can never use the iPlayer - thanks a lot!

I got all excited, then........Not available on Mac

It's supported by on-browser adverts (specifically it seems a rather bolshy attempt by Exxon Mobil to convince us they're saving the planet) but they're not too obtrusive.

Just as a point to note, this wouldn't exclude you from Billag. You've still got to shell out for it.

Serves you right.

You Macphobics are so predictable!

Billag is a tax on breathing....if you hear someone speaking in the next room, Billag classes it as owning a radio.

Nice idea, but no Mac, Linux, or Unix variants. Back to using dodgy free VPNs and Proxies for me then.

just install windows 7 on your mac...come on! you know you want to....

great info.. will try it today. I wonder why am I paying chf 25 every month for a UK VPN

I would thank you but I'm not too keen on the new avatar

It's just for today.

The Most Important Holiday.

There is a website called ' zattoo.com ', it's free and you can watch itv and bbc on there. i signed up for a while and it was a godsend. before we had english channels, i even hooked the laptop up to the tv and watched x factor live from that website. hope some of you guys will find it useful as well

Download "Expat Sheild" - it works. It does come with a lot of junk and search bar and will drop adds in at the top of your browser window. But iPlayer works!

On the plus side speed seems uneffected:

Nice find...
