Frederick Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have found myself turning to the BBCi site more and more and find it very good indeed....not just for watching stuff missed on TV and radio.....Its so handy to be able when talking to family on the other side of the world to be able to refer them to somthing you have seen and they can also watch...Stuff that you know they would enjoy.........well done the BBCi site .....

I then paid my 2.50 GBP to Chris for the price of a pint.... to get a 1 page PDF file to tell me how to get bbc etc on my PC in France. Now I know it's only 2.50 (hey - lets take a chance here [;-)] ) that's not a problem, what IS a problem is I am in France, After receiving the PDF file and reading down 8 lines, I then find the bit that says "What do you need - The most important thing you need is access to a PC in the UK with Broadband connection ..."I don't have a PC in the UK... Am I missing the point here??? I can be a bit thick at times [8-)] Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik from LA Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 [quote user="Bugbear"]Radio is available now TV will be on line shortly.[/quote]Yesterday at 6pm (local time) Radio 2 was sending a message saying that for copyright reasons the service was unavailable. Does this hint that all radio will become unavailable on the internet outside UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneySuckleDreams Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 EnrieYthe blurb on the link says The IP Changer basically does for your Internet connection what "Caller ID Blocking" does for your phone. There is nothing wrong with trying to keep your IP address private for the right reasons. If there is any question, you should consult with a legal advisor to confirm that your intended use is legal. but by the bbc, my intended use is illegal (for the moment). Sill...when has that stopped the bulk of France from adhering to the letter of the lawIf anyone can come up with an IP address of a Proxy server that allows me access to iPlayer (or Radio 5Live for that matter) then I'm all ears...and doesn't disappear after 2 days would be evern better!

AnOther Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 From the BBC iPlayer T&C's"You agree:that if you infringe these Terms, the BBC may get and use theinformation that it holds concerning your use and access to the BBCiPlayer and any information that is available to it about you to stopyour infringement. You agree that this information may be disclosed torelevant third parties if it is necessary (and BBC deems it isproportionate to the infringement) to disclose that information for thepurpose of the BBC tracing infringement of these Terms by you. This mayinclude informing relevant third parties (such as your email provider,or the administrator of a message board) about an infringement of theTerms and getting information from these parties that will enable theBBC to identify you and remove your access to BBC iPlayer."You may be infringing the terms but illegal as in against the law, I think not. If it were so they would be threatening you with proper legal consequences not tracing you to cut you off.Being savaged by a dead sheep comes to mind [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
