I am curious to know how many parts of the world can not view BBC output, and what type of output.

1.  Laurie in the USA says she can not view a video of type ‘programmes’:

This is not the first time I have heard this.

2.  How about type ‘news’

3.  Or type ‘article’ (I don’t know how many types there are)

Lastly, if not the output itself, how about the abstract (which would sometimes suffice to make a point)?

hygge..all the links work for me..

Hygge, the first link gives access to a video. So far so good.  Clicking the play button gives in my case  in the Netherlands:

“BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues.”

The second and third link are no video’s and are accessible. So it are only the video’s from the BBC that seem to be protected. This might be a matter of licenses for BBC news.

Googling on the message above you will find additional information and also links to ways to unblock the BBC iPlayer.

Several of my friends, ex-Brits living in the southern part of Spain (Andalucía) cannot get BBC broadcasts, internet news, articles etc.  They have resorted to installing pretty big rather unsightly TV dishes and data gathering devices and the like in order to get BBC broadcasts.

I gather a lot of  locals are not happy about the big (and I mean BIG) aerials / dishes etc being erected on the side of their houses.
