My mate Jane has just moved to Mexico and is missing the programmes she could previously access on BBC iPlayer (which will only operate on IP addresses registered as in the UK). What's the best VPN or IP address-spoofing app for someone who is not of a technical bent (at all!)?

Is there a mexican tv web site that carries it? MrsD. can get Correy & other BBC dreck on the cbc web site.
(when I hit "Reply" to you, there is no text field, just solid blank blue with all the other usual stuff. "Reply to all" appears to work normally).

I've heard good things about tunnelbear.com
Not tried it though, there may be easier/cheaper solutions still!

Funny, I can reply to you as normal. Perhaps I have become one with everything without knowing it, and can only be communicated with as part of the universal unity. Doesn't seem likely though.
Jane's infinitely better half, Jose, is Mexican and I'm guessing if there was a channel with Beeb stuff on he'd know about it. Furthermore I suspect Jane's tastes are for the less syndicated stuff - she's of artfag stock too.

Yet she watches TV? More pseudoartfag.

She's probably the one person in the UK (now in Mexico) who watches
The Space

There, it worked that time.
Is there "The Space" stuff on the bbc that you can't see on the website?

If it's through the browser, Zenmate is a Chrome app that sorts that out. I doubt it would affect iPlayer, though.

Patch: I'll tell her.
Smiffy: as nobody has ever spent more than five minutes in The Space, it's hard to tell. Total bloody white elephant.
