Default BBC i player
Has anyone in NZ tried the new BBC i player thing to see if it works in NZ- you can watch all the BBC programs over the internet for upto a week after they have been aired on TV.

Let me know if anyone gives it a go and if it works.

Beth

Hi Beth

I'm guessing no, as I think its based on your country of residence obtained from your IP address as this is where you'd be paying your broadcasting license. ie if you're in NZ, you haven't paid a license in the UK. I've tried using the TVNZ equivalent from here & it wouldn't work. Just my guess & maybe someone knows for sure.

Can I download programmes from outside the UK?

The BBC uses Geo-IP technology to identify where you are based on the location of your internet service provider (ISP). This ensures that only internet users in the UK can enjoy programmes on BBC iPlayer.

If you download a programme to your laptop or a portable hard drive, you can watch this wherever you are in the world. However, you will only be able to download new programmes once you return to the UK.


Why do I need to be in the UK to use BBC iPlayer?

Rights agreements mean that BBC iPlayer is only available to users in the UK. However, BBC Worldwide is working on an international version, which we will make available as soon as possible.

Some content, such as podcasts, are available to users outside the UK at BBC - Radio - Podcasts - Directory. Many BBC News programmes are available for viewers outside the UK at BBC NEWS | Video and Audio, BBC Sport highlights are available at BBC SPORT and BBC Radio stations are available at BBC - Radio Homepage |



Do make sure you check for news on BBC iPlayer at BBC - bbc.co.uk homepage - Home of the BBC on the Internet

How does BBC iPlayer identify that I'm in the UK?

BBC iPlayer recognises your location by checking your IP address (a sequence of numbers for every computer on the internet).
