BBC iPlayer - 'Not available in your area.' Is there a workaround?

Dinarius · 2011-02-14 15:42:41

First off, not sure if this is the right forum. Maybe tv? But, it is a tech question. I want to watch a programme I missed on BBC4 via iPlayer. I'm getting a 'Not available in your area' message. Any way of circumventing this? Thanks. D.

I've been using ExpatShield for a few months now to catch the occasional BBC programme I've missed on Iplayer. Apart from a few hiccups last week with the connection, I find it good and very straightforward.
I've also scanned my PC with Malwarebytes and found nothing, so I'm hoping it's ok. 4OD won't work with it, but you can get this via another UK site through ExPat - I think it was called seesaw or something similar?

4OD already works here fine?

Yes, you're quite right DOC09UNAM - there was a time when it didn't and I was still under that misapprehension. If I have the Expat Shield on, it won't work so I have to remember to disconnect it first.
