Fridgeman Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi allIt's been asked before but no one has answered, why is it possible to get BBC iPlayer and ITVplayer but not channel 4 or 5 .........PLEASEMany thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Because they use a different protocol for their catch ups which Expat shield does not support at the moment - they say they are working on it.http://www.facebook.com/expatshield?v=app_46468144668Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonDuncan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Try using http://www.youtube.com/shows?feature=mh or http://www.seesaw.com/ for catch-ups of Channels 4 and 5.They both work fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonDuncan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Loads of free content at http://video.uk.msn.com/browse/tv-shows/genres too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Jon - both of those come up <<not available in your area>> for me. And the see-saw seems to be subscribe only.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonDuncan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The YouTube one is bit pernickitty (doesn't seem to work for every one), but SeeSaw and MSN should work, presuming you are running ExpatShield successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Presumably my error then ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonDuncan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It's just the general confoundedness of computers! Do the BBC & ITV Players work for you Sue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Expat Shield are apparently thinking about a linux version buthttp://ubuntu-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/12/karmic-vpn-itshiddencom.html is a guide on how to set up the free 'itshidden' service.possibly useful??.....There are not a lot of free VPN services. Plenty out there if you want to pay.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
