I’m using ExpatShield. Even though i can view all iplayer content with my browser from mainland europe, I cannot download with the iplayer downloader.
Does anybody know the trick or have an alternative?

Yes that is wrong

this is an example

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00td478/EastEnders_12_08_2010/

all you need is the “b00td478″ thats the program ID

The downloader doesn’t work for me now. It opens a box saying ‘There is no page for this programme. This probably means that the programme does not exist.’

I simply copied the full address of the video into programme ID, was that wrong?

It makes me laugh when people brag about living abroad and then moan about missing the creature comforts of home. Makes you wonder why they bother leaving in the first place if they miss things that much. And as for paying your tv licence and then whining that you cant get BBC out of the country…..well, you probably also pay road tax too…….but you dont expect to take the british roads with you, or expect to drive on them from abroad, do you? Just because you pay for something to be available to you in the UK, why should you whine about those benefits not following you around the world? Makes no sense.

So why not let people subscribe? I'm British and currently living in London, but I have a home in NZ and I too find it annoying that I cannot get the BBC content while I'm in NZ – I'm British, I pay for a license, and I STILL can't get it.

There are a few “technical” work arounds for this, but I shouldn't have to do anything to get access to content I am already paying for.

Yep – but do you know how much we pay in the UK for BBC content? If you wish to pay my TV licence then I'd be happy for you to view all the content!

Sigh, nothing for worldwide use? This really pisses me off sometimes. They have great shows on the BBC, and I can't even watch it on their site >_>
