Hi,
My nephew just told me that he can't use "Channel 4 on demand" any more http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od)
Its telling him he's located outside the UK. He's not - he's in Kent, with Pipex as his ISP.
He claims it all worked OK some weeks ago. And BBC iPlayer is working fine.
http://whatismyipaddress.com/ (http://whatismyipaddress.com/) identifies him as in the UK.
whois shows his address being in a block registered to Tiscali UK.
inetnum: 88.108.0.0 - 88.111.255.255
netname: DSL-TISCALI-UK
descr: Tiscali UK Ltd
descr: Milton Keynes
descr: Dynamic DSL
Is it a Pipex problem or a Channel 4 problem?
Seems odd that BBC iPlayer is happy, but Channel 4 isn't.
I had a similar problem that BBC iPlayer thought I was outside the UK when I went onto LLU
with a static address. My ISP, ADSL24, got it sorted within a couple of days.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi geep,
I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago when using the BBC iPlayer. I eventually got it to work OK, but I'm not really sure what caused the problem. I also am resident in the UK, using Plusnet.
Go figure !!!
