Re: BBC Blocking all VPNs
A big problem is that VPN is becoming more popular as they are incorrectly marketed as a way to protect your privacy. There are easy work-arounds and hence the ability of content providers to block them quite easily.

Re: BBC Blocking all VPNs
Haven't read the whole thread so this may have been mentioned, but I use ExpressVPN and it works like a charm.
ExpressVPN + BBC iPlayer on iPad > Airplay to AppleTV. Been enjoying catching up with The Great British Menu lately.
Got a chuckle when my girlfriend said UK Masterchef was "weird, because everyone is nice to each other". Commentary on US vs UK personalities right there folks

It's been a while since Beebs or Beebs Premium (both free on Opera/Chrome) worked for iPlayer. Ditto for free Hoxx which also appears not to work for ITV anymore as well. 
Fortunately there are still alternatives, some of them legit too

Generally, it connects and quality is good. Sometimes it will just crap out for no reason and I have to reconnect VPN and restart the app.
That being said, it could be a variety of factors. We moved from New York (1gbps with the wireless router in the living room) to Boston (400mbps with the router in another room) so it may not be all down to ExpressVPN.
