TO BE CARRIED OUT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Okay guys here goes, "hypothetically" Cata1ysts guide to bypassing the bbc's iplayer locks...
First open the link above listing open proxy servers and note a couple of proxy servers down from the list.
(You need the port number aswell as the IP address)
Then open internet explorer, go to tools, internet options then connections, the click on lan settings.
A window opens complete it as shown below
Okay now time to be patient.. Open the bbc website and start download the iplayer.
N.b once the connection is downloading the iplayer application you can disable the proxy.
(Within the LOCAL NETWORK SETTINGS window from above, untick the use proxy server for your lan and click ok)
It should download quicker than the poor initial connection via the proxy as you switch back to your own connection!
Okay once that it downloaded install as normal.
Then browse the BBC website for what you want to view.
I suggest d/l and not viewing via proxy as I will explain in a moment.
Re-enable the PROXY connection (as before) before downloading the content and any time you have issues with "You are outside the UK." You will also need to do this BEFORE playing the content (this is important as it needs the DRM key before playing and you will need to d/l the content again if this is not done!)
You can then
disable it once the d/l has started or after the player has initialised after a couple of seconds.
Here's the proof I got it to work!
Basically it seems to work by tricking the bbc site into thinking you are in the UK allowing you to start the d/l, then you remove the proxy to use the full bandwidth of you own net connection.
Do not attempt to STREAM content by clicking play it will not work or be extremely slow
Okay addicts you can now get your telly fix.
Part 2 time to crack the d/l content so you can put it on to disk.
Mods I am really not sure I can post this, but in case perhaps it might be worth leaving around for a few hours?
I suggest those that are feeling guilty about not contributing to the 3.2bn pounds the BBC get from license payers should by a UK tv license or give some money to children in need!
