BBC iPlayer?

Has the BBc iPlayer just stopped working in Gibraltar? I've used it a lot since I moved here, but as of today it has started telling me I am outside the UK and therefore can't show me programmes.

I'm watching it now

No problem

Meh, I'll reboot everything and see what happens.

Same with me. Tried rebooting my router and still won't let access iPlayer. Always worked before. Noticed it first when bbc.co.uk kept redirecting to bbc.com

Wonder if its a Gibtel thing or if the BBC are now blocking Gib IP addresses?

It's working for me

Windows 7 and Firefox

I'm trying on Apple stuff (Mac/iPad/iPhone) but wouldn't have thought that would make a difference. Will try on my work laptop later though (W7).

What IP address range are you in?

The BBC are panicking due to the abolition of the TV licence and the vast amount of unpleasant cover ups coming to light therefore it would not surprise me if they did block GIB.  NETFLIX is great and doesnt peddle propaganda for about £5 a month.
