Hi,

I have recently purchased an ipod touch and I am having difficulties getting the bbc iplayer website to work on it. In live in the UK but I beleive I have an American ipod touch as a number of the default settings are set to U.S. When I navigate to the iplayer website I get a screen saying that the the content can only be viewed in the UK and not U.S. Then when I go to the next screen it lets me navigate around the site but each programme shows as not currently available.

Does this mean that my ipod can't use the iplayer website or is there anything that can be done? I live in the UK and pay my TV licence so I am not doing anything illegal.

Thanks for any help

Andy

it has noting to do with the ipod. Its the bbc. Some of their programing cant be heard outside the uk. It happens on my PC as well.
