[Analoguesat]

If you are watching BBC Iplayer on a VPN expect to lose access:

BBC begins blocking VPN access to iPlayer

AS thx for heads up, atm my multi free access iplayers are not affected, but there are always alternative possibilities in the pipeline

I used to have Hola but uninstalled it for security reasons (they let others use your IP as a VPN exit node if I remember rightly so if anyone was upto nogood it would come back to you if they used your exit node) but it was good when I used it

I've got the VM Tivo too, well, if you can call it a Tivo, it has the Tivo front end and EPG but that's about it as far as functionality goes, I loved it to start with but soon got sick of it, as soon as the contract is up its gone
Apparently its based on rebranded Tivo Premiere hardware but it's locked down to VM through the Tivo middleware so theres no way to add extra apps or use the network features as they where intended to be used, the technology is there but VM won't activate it (if your Tivo is on your home network enter the Tivo IP address into your web browser and when the login box pops up enter username=tivo and the password is your media access key found in the Tivo menus, the features are there but VM say no)
