BBC iPlayer and ITV is blocked When I choose Watch BBC iPlayer and Watch ITV, also by choose Redirect All Computer.

Regards

Frank.

Hi Frank, is All Computer working with BBC for you ?

I haven't been able to connect with it to any UK channels for over a week and have been hoping for an update on this other topic

Give it a try again now. I can get it working, but through using a private browsing session initially as it seems that iPlayer remembers you not being able to connect for a while and will keep showing you that message regardless.

Can you please give this a try

http://cdn.firetrust.com/downloads/hide ... -setup.exe

Just close down HideAway, then download and install this version. It's working fine here

You'll need to use 'Watch BBC iPlayer' option. It's only by chance that it's worked in the past by connecting directly to UK/London in the past, as sometimes that IP address would get unblocked.

Do you mean just until it's fixed? I've always used All Computer since installing Hideaway and not the BBC option as the iPlayer download doesn't work otherwise.

We are redirecting the iPlayer downloads too now, so they should work.

When we get the custom rules in there (just working on the user interface now) you'll be able to have ALL COMPUTER and bbc iplayer running together.

But, now our upstream residential IP address provider is having issues again! So can't get to iPlayer right now...

This is what I get now

This site can’t be reached www.bbc.co.uk unexpectedly closed the connection.

I've tried reloading the page for about 10 minutes but it hasn't changed

Edit: ITV redirect is doing the same now but I'll keep trying with both

When you use the BBC redirect the ITV webpage loads and vice versa
