I've been wondering if I need to change my VPN provider... I've always avoided the 'big' ones and use a little Swedish based on called Anonine, but I'm connecting through UK based servers.

@anomnomnomaly @BBCRD @BBC_News_Labs If they have adequate tech support, try chatting to their techs. I seem to recall it was a fairly simple change to my local DNS settings - sorry, can't recall the details now...

@rothko @anomnomnomaly Sure, and if someone is looking for a good VPN, that's likely helpful. The chat was about using BBC stuff while the VPN is active.

I can confirm now that I'm home that my ExpressVPN thingy (with a minor tweak on my local DNS, the details of which I can't recall) seems to allow me to watch all the BBC stuff (aside from the pop-ups mentioned earlier in the thread.) Just went back to iPlayer and it played The Commitments fine with my VPN active on the laptop.
