Most BBC radio stations have a listen again or listen live facilty that doesn't require iPlayer.

OK this sounds good advice, but as regards censorship there wont be any? Not that the BBC is that radical or porno - at least by 'our' standards

Can someone please PM me with some recommended VPN providers? I have come across a few in my searches and the prices vary quite a bit. We head out to Doha in 6 weeks to join my DH and I would like it all set up on the pc before we get there.

Re: bbc iPlayer
If you are into radio then maybe look at picking up a wireless internet radio device in the UK. Ok it may set you back £100+ - but it will give you access to over 2500+ radio stations (including the BBC) and it will work independently from your computer.
It's next on my shopping list.

Re: bbc iPlayer
We bought a very new second hand(the people had to go rather quickly) wireless internet which they had bought from Virgin Megastore in MoE. I am sitting listening to Terry Wogan on Radio 2 right now and the UK news every hour, its great. I think they bought theirs new for AED1200 but well worth every fil

There are tons of BBC Radio torrents on some of the more popular UK download sites. Generally the programmes are on there within 24 hours of broadcast. Don't want to mention my favourite in case the TRA jump in and block it
