Viewing Channel 4 from Spain?

Question

I am trying to view past programs on Channel 4 from Spain using a UK proxy address. When I try to watch a past program I get a message saying that I need Windows Media Player 11. I already have it installed. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I've just answered a similar question. I think now you will find that all the UK TV stations will only accept genuine UK ISPs. Any other, proxy or otherwise are now rejected. All they have to do is get the system to check back to the server your coming through and if it's not the right port or whatever it's blocked.

Answer 2

It sounds like your Proxy is not passing the detection to your Pc to be scanned for Media Player 11 or the Proxy itself does not have Windows Media Player 11 installed.

The detection is usually made back to the Public address found on the connection, in this case, your Proxy.

Hope this helps
