No I tried that and it still came up with error, then I tried Paris and it said connected but I have no idea where I from there. What do I do after that. I have no icon to click onto as I have with Hola!

This is most frustrating

Well I have the icon now but when I click on it all it does is take me to that small black square when I click on it as London or any other country an error message pops out! When it has worked it goes no where and I cannot see where I go to click on to see the programs that I can use to watch TV!

Hi patricia,
The VPN is just a connection.

To view BBC programs you need to either open a Browser and use the BBC URL https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer

OR if you have download BBC iplayer program and have download BBC programs to watch later............. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/install

I have tried that and I get the message that I am not in the UK so cannot watch UK TV.

Also I keep getting the error message when I put in UK and also France. I have tried various countries to put into the little black box which appears and they all say error the message comes from the right

Yes I have installed the iplayer. I am not having any problem with Hola watching BBC ITV etc, but I do disable that when I try to watch with Smarty!

Hi patricia,

" but I do disable that when I try to watch with Smarty!"........Yes

Using a VPN and connecting to a London/UK server will give you a UK IP so BBC iplayer will be happy and think you're in UK.
