BBC Radio over the net is often blocked when I access it from Germany - is there any way around this?

Question

When trying to listen to, say, stremed Radio 5 on my Apple Mac I often get a message saying that the content has been blocked. When using the same Apple Mac in the UK this never happens. Is there anything I can do or any package I can use to allow my to listen to streamed BBC radio from Germany?

Answer 1

This is to ensure that content which is funded by the uk licence fee payer is not available to all and sundry.

If you are determined to view bbc content which is restricted to uk only then the most obvious way of doing this is via a uk based proxy server.

Try looking at this

Answer 2

Try installing Real Player. This might work
