I know: http://www.ses-astra.com/business/en/satellite-fleet/satellite-list/astra2d/index.php http://www.ses-astra.com/business/en/satellite-fleet/satellite-list/astra2a/index.php The point is that for Germany you can see BBC only in the most north western part with a standard dish. In Bavaria you need up to 1.8m, which almost nobody owns.

I doubt they'd pay any attention to me, and I no longer have contacts within the organisation.

I have seen paid for proxy servers that claim to allow this, but I've not tried them. I don't disagree with you, I would like to use the iplayer too, but I understand why it's not supported abroad- which is of course clear BBC policy. -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "[Do you think the world learned anything from the first world war?] No. They never learn." -Harry Patch (1898-2009) |
