Yes when the B B C iPlayer first came out I downloaded it but was told I could not watch it because of My ip adress,however the very kind&friendly email from the B B C said they were looking into an iPlayer for B B C world.
I still feel a bit agrived because so many in the U.K think others do not have to pay for B B C Services,in fact here in the Republic of Ireland We pay a License fee for R T E and a subscription to either
Sky or U P C to get B B C Channels.R T E are also allowed Advertising revenue on top of license fee!
It is true though that with a population of less than 5 Million R T E could never afford a Live8 or concert for Diana etc that the B B C do so superbly
