    Not sure if this is known, and will probably be patched now that I mention it. :)

    If you clear your cookies on my5.tv before watching something, it bypasses geo-restictions. It only works for the first time, so you have to do this everytime you watch a new episode. It's only 5 clicks.

    Don't want to get into trouble for bringing up an old thread, but didn't see the point of starting a new one with the same title, but My5 or just 5 as its known now, isn't geo blocked since yesterday, all the Channel 5 bouquet of live channels plus on demand are playing with an Irish ip address, maybe it's only a glitch and will go again soon.

    It looks like you are trying to access 5 app from outside the UK.

    5 app is currently only accessible from within the UK.

    Error code: MY5-WEB-1111

    is what I am seeing now
