AnyoneAnybody that has spent any time abroad whether on holiday or working overseas will shortly realize what good value the BBC licence is and what top of the range programming the BBC and other UK TV channels available.

The BBC and other British TV networks broadcasters use an IP address based system to contol which people can watch their content and viewers whose IP address is not in the UK will get a message 'Not available in your area' when trying to use iPlayer.

Part of the cause of this is to guard their revenue, as an example, popular dramas such as the wonderful BBC production of 'The diary of Anne Frank' will be sold to other states and the revenue earned will be used to fund other productions.

Much of the programs shown by the BBC is not owned by them but is 'rented' just like you and I would rent a film from a video shop. In cases like these, the BBC or ITV will only have bought the rights to air the content on regular TV and will not be able to make it available online.

Examples of this are blockbuster movies and gigantic sporting events like soccer matches. In these examples, Internet spectators will get a message to the effect that 'for legal reasons, the programme can only be viewed on regular TV'.

Using our software lets you watch BBC iPlayer and other UK (as well as US) based content without the restriction of being in the UK by fetching net pages for them, i.e. By acting as a 'proxy'.

It should be observed that we don't condone or encourage people to break the law or evade paying a licence fee. Our software is intended for UK residents to allow fellow UK license payers to keep recent with UK content while abroad.
