I entered the first IP address to my PC version of PureVPN and could successfully start some series episode ("Top of the lake, 1:1).

 

First IP didn't work for me, second did. Note this is using my Ivacy credentials

Yes, its only partially working now. One can still run VOD using "By Channel" selection. A bit ponderous but I prefer it to using a VPN. Hopefully someone at NAN will fix it proper soon.

Tunnel bear been rumbelled too, it seems....

Getting very difficult for expat TV now.

Ch4 can (sometimes) detect your computer's timezone setting, I can't get live TV to work without setting to UK timezone. Catch-up works just fine, so I only need to change things to watch the F1.

I don't think Mikey will update it again, since he died in a car crash

Or stupid. It's a mystery to me why they go to so much trouble. All they are required to do is not supply their content to IP addresses outside the UK pool, not to check individual addresses.

It is particularly stupid in that all their content is available without verification across much of Europe to anyone with a satellite dish and receiver.

 

It is even more stupid to know there is a worldwide demand for their output but they have no means of selling it. The only people who 'sell' it are dubious internet TV services. That is exactly what happened with the music business and Napster a decade and more ago. Then, the music business caught up and supplied the product legally. Maybe eventually the BBC and others will catch up too.

Be a bit cautious about the fact that you are using VPN's.  Copying the Chinese like they do, the powers that be here might not like it.  China is making them illegal from next year..  A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.

warning noted thanks

[PeterWin]

I don't use any VPN.

Just go to www.teatimetv.to 

Works perfect for me, live and with replay 7 days or so...

Since years already you need a vpn in China to access common websites like Google, Facebook or Youtube, but since  early this year there is a ban on foreign vpn's.

 

Only authorized vpn's, read government controlled, are allowed until April 2018, and it would be no surprise if they even strengthen those rules after that date.

 

But China is not the only country that restricts vpn's. There are a lot of countries in this region that block access to sites like Facebook, even Vietnam.

 

I would not be surprised if Thailand will follow China.

[Grumpy Duck]

I know many US providers such as Hulu and netflix can determine a VPN ip address and block accordingly

[paulbj2]

I am connected through LeVPN and it's now working fine BUT I have changed the time-zone on my machine to "London". I think this may have something to do with it.

[dereklev]

I use Hola Free VPN and it works fine most of the time.

 

When it doesn't work I switch to Hoxx and that works every time but their free service is limited so I only use it as a backup.

The BBC seem to have blacklisted some VPN nodes as of today. Mine is broken also. Hopefully the VPN provider will fix it fairly quickly.

I often find I have to try a few different VPN servers with my IPVanish. Some they think are in Birmingham show up as Antwerp in Yahoo!!

Surprised one can just plug in any old Postcode... that hardly seems better security....easy to come up with those. I will tell them I am watching from SL4 1NJ, 'The Castle' if they ask more.

It still works for me with PureVPN with the first address from post #27.

And I have never touched any other settings on my PC.

Program times are shown in Thai local time.

Such a crass comment if true. But thanks for the heads up.

[Digitalbanana]

Is DNS proxy change better (faster) option to watch BBC iPlayer here or will VPN for iPlayer work better? If so what service suggested?

 

[derekwyoung]

ive never had any problem watching iplayer, i do have an address in uk that  has a tv licences that i use to sign in vpn compleats  the process, and my problem seems to lie with channel 4, and I now have a couple of things to try next time

[tpinvest]

Suggest you access sites trying to block you by connecting through the Tor network, it's free to use and has so many exit nodes it is impossible to block

[sandyf]

I have had a problem getting BBC Iplayer for some time, just a bit hit and miss. If you read the BBC FAQ's they acknowledge that using a vpn in the UK can be problematic.

 

Location can also be a problem. I was going to put the BBC Iplayer on my phone but I could not find it on the Play Store so I switched off the location and it became available.

But that doesn't include the live channels, right?

Yes correct only VOD, 0.4.0 is just fixed to work again as 0.3.7 used to before it broke.

Coming back to this thread after a while and surprised that it still works with PureVPN (78.129.177.126 in the configuration and then being redirected obviously).
