Pickles Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, it is possible, but it requires access to a proxy server. There used to be quite a few of these that would allow guest connections, but nowadays it has become much more difficult.RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 If you search for threads to do with the BBC iPlayer you'll find what you want [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyn_Paul Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 It's only a short-term solution; I understand that BBC IT is blocking proxy server IP addresses as they come to their notice. So even if you find one that works, there's no telling how long it will continue.paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
