I use one called Free VPN Uk but when I google it, it doesn't appear so I don't know if there's an Android version.
I found it in the Apple store.
Maybe another Android user might be able to advise you or Google to see which free ones are recommended. You literally only need it on during the download.

Most DNS server companies have a free VPN option. Have you tried that?

or use "get iplayer"
no problems with radio downloads
but the tv downlaods are geoblocked...
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

Hi truebrit,
You need to explain further as your post is not very clear.

The problem is not downloading the APP. It's downloading programming, using the APP.
As I have said, It's been a problem for a while now. Get Iplayer is one solution but downloading programmes directly to the phone is much easier.

What is the difference between phone or ipad? How is it easier to download to an iphone?

No difference
On an Ipad or IPhone you need to set up an account with the UK Apple app store.

Citizen of advanced countries are suffering from hackers, and Geo-restrictions so using VPN there are essential for free browsing and online privacy, I am using bvpn through Smoke tunnel https://www.vpnanswers.com/watch-bbc-ip ... utside-uk/
