I tried it on my iPad on the iplayer app and it says not supported outside the UK.
Your best bet is to sign up for a VPN. I use htps://ww.my-private-network.c o.uk/. which gives you a UK IP address.
It works a treat on my iPad and will work nicely on an iPhone as well. I'm 99% sure that the N900 will support VPN as well. It's only £5 per month and you will have access to the full range of iPlayer shiz.
Thanks for the greenie - love your Avatar. I think I should desist from posting though, I have been digging trenches, rototilling etc 90-100F and my brain is fried. Another Iranian nuclear scientist shot, must be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, I wonder if he is the friend of anyone I know.
Thanks for the rep, and the brilliant ego-boosting comment which went with it! We're quite similar - we stomp on rose-tinted glasses and walk around eyes wide open Helps us to make good decisions in life!
