Electrical problem
Just wondering if anyone with electrical knowledge might have some suggestions to help me towards a resolution for an electrical problem. We are in an apartment block where the supply enters the building and splits into two "distribution cupboards", each one housing the meters for half of ...

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
I am also still having problems with Smarty (on a tablet) - VPN London, or 2 or 3 now won't work at all. Sometimes DNS will do the trick - but it's impossible to know whether it's going to do it or not! I keep clearing the cache, re-starting - all the usual stuff - and then sometimes it will do it b...

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
Hi Satandpcguy - Over the last week I've had various communications from Smarty. Asking me to delete cookies, re-start, etc. Eventually they suggested I should delete the BBC Apps and re-download. I said I would not do this until I had watched everything that I had already downloaded. They then pass...

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
Thanks - I certainly prefer an easy solution, preferably using an App on my Tablet. Until last week Smarty was doing a good job - I could download from Sounds and also get all the TV Apps - to stream or download where applicable. This has now changed and it's not working well for me - so that's why ...

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
Thanks SatandPCGuy - I've never hear of this programme. I'll have a look and see if I can find it on Google Play so that I can give it a try.
I'll also try again with Smarty as they tell me today that they have made some improvements!

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
Thanks for the information about Pure - it is really important to me to download from BBC Sounds, so maybe that's not going to be an option for me. I didn't realise that it was possible to transfer items downloaded to a PC and then on to some other device. I use a laptop with Win10 and a Samsung Tab...

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
Thanks Enrique - it certainly seems worthwhile trying Pure to see how it works.
Interesting to find that you also had a problem with SmartyDNS! They have been great until last Thursday - when it all went pear-shaped. But they won't admit that they have any problem.

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
Yes Beachcomber - I think that is right. What I have been doing previously is downloading from BBC Sounds Drama plays, comedies, book readings - all sorts of stuff - which I can then listen to anywhere, even if I don't have access to wifi. (or indeed if the wifi is not working) I never listen to pro...

That's right El Cid - but to download you need to show as being in the UK

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
Very interesting Fyfin. Thanks for letting me know your experiences. I have just tried using Smarty London 3 VPN and managed to download a programme from BBC Sounds (I prefer to download & that's only allowed if in UK. However on the second programme I got "Failed" - so that's not a pe...

Re: Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
Thanks Enrique - I'll give all that a try. Agree BBC Sounds works okay with no VPN - except for downloading programmes, which is what I prefer to do. I think it will be sensible to trial some other VPN Services - because I find that none of the TV catch up services will work with Smarty now (itv hub...

Best VPN for BBC Sounds downloads & iPlayer
I am looking for some advice, please. I have been using Smarty for vpn access to all the above services on my Samsung Tablet - but it has just today stopped working for me and is not seeing me as being in London! Smarty have just said that I should use the DNS - and I switched to that on the Android...

Re: Android Apps from somewhere other than Google Play
Yes - it was a UK account that I set up and now that it is operating, as you say, I don't need a VPN. Using BBC Sounds I do use a VPN if I want to download programmes - which is what I usually do, so that I can listen to them anywhere. (Although obviously at the moment I am always at home!) Thanks a...

Re: Android Apps from somewhere other than Google Play
Thank you for your help. Pleased to report that I now have access to the UK Google Playstore! I set up a totally new Google Account and put it only on the Tablet that I use for BBC Sounds. I logged out of all other accounts, cleared cache & data, switched off tablet. When I switched on again - I...

Android Apps from somewhere other than Google Play
Really hope someone can help with this! I have recently noticed that Google Play will not let me download UK Apps - even when I have Smarty switched on. Play seems to have decided that I am in the United Arab Emirates! (which I've not even visited). Smarty tell me that it is not down to them and, in...
