That sounds about right in so far as I understand it. The Beeb are in somethink of a bind - they are public service, and with an implicit (and sometimes explicit) mission to have the UK "heard around the world".... But money and contracts matter too, and sometimes the public and the private get in a tangle. We had a conversation here ?last year? about oddities that do crop up. IIRC, I could hear Test Match Special on my French-based laptop - no VPN - using the BBC webpage; but I could only get the Rights Restriction message when trying to access it via LMS. As I recall, someone suggested a couple of useful ways of getting LMS to mirror what I was hearing on my laptop...... Where there's a will, there's a way - and I've seldom encountered a more helpful set of folks than those here in the Forums!
