    Using BBC Iplayer and Hide My Ass VPC - won't work

    As above.
    I have HMA connected and pointing to London. But BBC player is saying it won't play because I;m outside the UK.

    But itsnt the pont of a VPN to make it look like you are in the UK?

    What am I doing wrong?

    (Been at this an hour now,,, it's driving me crazy)

    How about a SmartDNS service?

    But I already paid for HMA! Why pay for something else? If HMA does not work, what;s the point?

    14 day free trial - no credit card needed.

    All this may end in late Sept anyway when iPlayer will require a TV license login to work.

    ok so UKproxy seems to work (in the sense that it does not give me the error message) but doesn't work in the sense that the think just won't play...... (it hangs on the start of the programme....)

    I am assuming they will require a login tied to a license?

    Official TV Licensing website - BBC iPlayer and the TV Licence
