Maybe adblocker or something similar stops it.

Another vote for unblock US. It let me watch the last UK series of Masterchef, yay! :-)

There is now a way to get Media hint to work free. It involves installing the older version that's not updateable. I now have everything working as before.

The BBC 'problem' seems to be solved by selecting watch in HD.

Yes it was Chrome as Media hint is no longer free since a month or so now

Got back from London yesterday. Managed not to watch a thing while there apart from the bottom of empty beer glasses

Actually it wasn't the .to one i was using but even trying that i get constant poker or similar ads, and everytime you select a link it offers you to download and install some video player. I know it does work but seems to be full of ads and stuff you don't need.

I have paid about £20 for a years unlimited data using Tunnel Bear on my iPad, and I can use iPlayer, itv, 4OD, demand 5 - streaming and download. The only thing I can't make work is the TV catchup app.
The Tunnel Bear VPN seems a whole lot more reliable than Expat Shield, but for a freebie Expat Shield isn't bad!! Managed to get some (terrestrial broadcast) rugby games on it when necessary!!
Any help?

Just curious as to why people are paying for stuff when the Hola browser plug in is free? I watch BBC iPlayer etc and don't pay anything. Am I missing something?

We use unotelly, pay $40/year for it.
It's always on, and it's set at the router level, so any electronic device at home (computer, phone, tablet, etc) all connect via unotelly.
It also lets you set up specific sites for specific counties. So when I go to BBC, I show as from the UK. When I go to Netflix, I show as from the US. I don't have to turn anything on or off, it just does it. No ads, no fuss, no changing anything, it just works.
$40/year for that service... yeah whatever, I can get on board with that.
