Hi George

Checking the links on the bbc website :-

The TV ones are always of the form
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b007846b/adventure-in-baltimore or
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03l8m2x/40-minutes-desirable-dwellings
and Live TV is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bbcone

the radio ones are like this

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08cqgfl
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08dcjvy

Theres a couple of other types but this seems to cover most options.

So what you need is to use a proxy web server or possibly your router to
not all urls that start

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode

specifically

Not easy, but not so bad perhaps.

Hope this helps

Julian
