2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey
Missed a BBC TV programme you wanted to watch?

Last night while I was on the BBC website I found a new section called iPlayer and went to have a look. Basically it plays back the last seven days most popular/interesting BBC programmes and it is FREE, all you need is a media player that can be downloaded from the website. Take a look here www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ - as of 27th Dec you have 3 days left that you can watch the full version of the last Top Gear programme rather than the bits that appear on You-Tube. Very useful if you have missed a programme that you really wanted to see, or if you are like me and don't have a telly in the house but still want to watch something! I even watched the special edition of "To the Manor Born" after I watched TG - how sad! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

what a great site, yet what a shame.

it checks your ip geolocation, and only allows UK based IPs to watch......

so much for top gear, dr who, etc.....

Sad

Its the same underlying technology as Sky and 4 use for internet programmes. Therefore it has a peer-to-peer engine (similar to BitTorrent) built in. This means that your PC becomes a "Server" for other users of the service and if you are not careful it can bring your PC to a halt.

Try running the FireFox Browser with a plugin called FoxyProxy.... this might help changing your top level domain to another country at least whilst you watch the BBC....

If this does not work google IP address country mapping and this will bring up a few alt solutions. Brit across the Pond Wink
