Guest JudgeMental Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I ran out of time trying to sort out portable satellite system for half term break, but as main site we were staying at (Carnac, southern Brittany) had relatively cheap internet - 10 euro for 24 hours - I thought I could keep up to date with news etc.... via the BBC I player service. Well, it appears that this service is only available within the UK. I did manage to get internet radio which was fine but was disappointed with the BBC........

Randonneur Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 They did say a while ago that it would be some time before BBC I Player was available outside UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek500 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 It's not just the BBC i player. Sky Player, 4OD, ITV catchup, are all UK only. If you can sort out proxy servers, you can get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Eddie The BBC iPlayer works on IP address, so if accessing from an Internet cafe in France etc it deffo won't work. We have managed to get this working on our tracvision in France but it is damn expensive when streaming. Not sure about the Proxy thing, as not sure if the host IP is still part of the TCP/IP packet following proxy. If not, you would still require a UK IP to proxy through and someone has to pay for your usage. And this all depends upon the internet cafe giving you access to change the permissions.
