Not sure if this will effect us out of region users or not?

I wouldn't be concerned. It says that they're only doing it so they can make the BBC more personal and relevant to you. They wouldn't lie to us, look how pretty the colours are.

Except you need to login before it will play on the web

Not a problem for me as I registered a few years ago.

It's really no big deal.

200,000 people, pfft makes our biggest festivals of 16,000 people look pretty lame





Anyone now a good way to watch this on Android without a DNS?
I think last year i must have used a DNS then the iPlayer App on my Android box
On the PC you can just use Beebs browser addon.

Slightly off topic, but a little while back it was either ABC Iview, or SBS On Demand, on my smart TV that required a sign in to view. It didn't previously though. I'm always a bit skeptical about things requiring you to sign in with an email address too.

Then use a little imagination concerning an e-mail address, i.e. create 'special' e-mail account using g-mail or similar.

Similarly, create an appropriate residential address in the area required.

I always use a junk email address for such stuff, then change it to a normal one later if I think it's required, for my own convenience I mean. I just thought it unusual at the time though.

Strange, i just signed in with my last years BBC login
Then was made to update some details, Age, Where i lived (UK of course), Click submit

Then all my BBC and Glastonbury streams stopped playing or loading

I then signed out, open a new browser window, they all play normal again

EDIT: BBC sent a new verification email which i missed
Working now after Verification
