    How to get BBC copyright material abroad

    Hi,

    Several threads have touched upon not being able to get UK-only BBC N-Radio stations/iPlayer content if outside the UK. Thought I'd share  a way round this - use a proxy server in the UK. Search for proxy server in google willl generate many sites with lists of them - choose one that's in the UK. On my PC Beoplayer seems to take its connection settings from Internet Explorer so, before turning on Beoplayer, in IE go to options/connections/LAN settings then put the details of the proxy server in. Then turn on Beoplayer and you're away. I'm still a novice with Proxy Servers and understand there are some security concerns about their use so I then change the settings back in IE (though I use firefox for bnrowsing in anycase - and can do the same in Firefox if using BBC iPlayer etc) and NRadio will carry on using the proxy settings.

    Hope this is useful - has been great getting Radio 4 again and looking forward to Arsenal-Chelsea.
