steve_b_wales Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm in work, and tried to log into the above. A message says, 'sorry, this is only for the UK', and apparently, it thinks I'm in the USA. How do I 'convince' it that I'm not? I've checked the settings etc, but there's nothing in there.

HDAV Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) You on company network? If so the external IP address being used is probably a US one (common on corporate networks) you need a UK proxy there are free ones (trials at least) but it means you can access us content not normally available in the uk. http://free-proxy-list.net/uk-proxy.html Explains it quite well. Corporate firewall may not allow proxy to work..... Edited December 9, 2016 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't ask the IT Guru's at head office, because 'officially', we are not supposed to look on the Internet! Because of the nature of my job, a lot of sites are banned, such as Facebook, the Lottery site etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I do not know whether it covers iPlayer, but if you want to watch live tv ( some 500 channels) try www.filmon.com. I use it when in Europe to access live uk tv. Examples: Last weekend I was in Germany and watched BBC news: the b-in-law lives in Corfu and watches European football.It's description suggests it's available in the US so may work on your corporate IP address. Give it a go and let us know whether it does work. Alternatively, If using your own laptop try some pieces of software like Ex Pat Shield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 The united states of the valleys maybe steve? now do some work Failed to watch the TV last night, so had to do some work (not much though!) The problem was with the signal, as the internet was running slow last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
