I use a VPN when on holiday in France - if you had to login to the Iplayer
with your TV licence number then this would get around this. I agree that
people who don't pay shouldn't be getting the content.

Thank you George.
Also I do know that many friends are ex-pats living overseas in warmer
climes over the British winter. They are all BBC licence fee payers.
They have now been cut off from accessing what they have already paid

On an entirely technical point it is clearly not all VPNs - I have just
tested with 2 different ones that I can use and neither are currently
blocked.
Both are VPNs with endpoints I contr

It can't be *all* VPNs since there is no way to detect from the traffic itself
that it has been VPN'd (or at least you'd hope there isn't). If the blocking is

Hi,
I have installed the program via the wizard, but I can't see any way
to actually launch it - the program files are in my program folder,
but no exe file, icon, etc. (My OS is Win 8.1.) Please help.
Thanks,
Jay.
