Can't see HD progs on BBC i-Player
I am using an identity cloaker supplied by www.my-private-network.co.uk to watch BBC TV and i-Player from outside the UK.
Great gizmo, only 5 quid a month.
For some reason when I try to watch progs on i-Player which are offered only in HD the content doesn't play & I get the message "This content doesn't seem to be working try again later"
Anything I can do to see these progs? my internet speed is OK (around 6Mb/s) and I have no problem streaming the normal programmes.
Cheers

I used to use a similar service for watching Hulu. Feels good to cheat the networks
I reckon that BBC HD iPlayer does a compulsory speed check to make sure that it won't be stuttering all the time, which fails due to limited VPN speed.

The BBC iPlayer testing site suggests a minimum of 3,500 mbs for HD progs.

I am now really confused, today it works OK and the speedtest I did suggests the same speed as yesterday, when it didn't work Duh ? ? ?
In the meantime the two progs I wanted to watch have expired, Sods Law
