Claude you're right, that's exactly how it works. The proxy accesses the
target site on your behalf using an IP allocated in a region in which
access to the content is permitted. So in this case the proxy would
contact the BBC servers using an IP address allocated to a UK-based ISP
/ organisation.
Depending on the number of users / streams going through the proxy at
any one time, this could become a bottleneck very quickly though.
A friend of mine tried it for BBC radio streams in the past but thought
it was more trouble than it was worth, ended up going for Sky Digi
instead.

Yes that 'could' work.

Hi Eamonn
I need to do more digging, but the solution would be to use a proxy
server server based in the UK. It changes your IP address for one in the
UK (if the proxy is located in the UK). You would need to install a
piece of software on your computer to do this. All I know is that it
slows down your computer a fair bit.
Kind regards
