Hi I just signed up for a vpn to watch bbc iplayer.

I choose cyberghost and my google bar is .co.uk however I still cant get bbc iplayer when my ip address and location is set to uk.

Anyone else use cyberghost that has came across this problem ?

Do you mean you can't download the iPlayer, or view the programmes using it?

Dunno about other VPNs but Unblock Us works well

google for MEDIA HINT. This is a plug in that installs in fire fox. Once installed just go to the bbc web site, click on IPLayer and watch what you want. No set up required. Been using it for several months now in both firefox and waterfox.

I don't have Firefox though. If I download it will it take away explorer or allow both to be used ?

Another vote for UnblockUs - really easy to use

You can use either/or.

If you like Firefox (or Chrome or Opera etc) you just make that the default browser, but can still fire up IE if you really want it. FWIW I think IE is a truly awful browser!

no it just give you the option of using it. the 64 bit version od fire fox is called water fox. In general fire fox seem to be faster and more stable than the current IE

Thank you for this tip, I use Firefox anyway and downloaded it and it works great! have iplayer working fine on it! Cheers
