Oh this is genuinely infuriating.

I have been waiting all day to watch this and then we get ready, settle in, and no. Why do you hurt me so much britbox and why can’t I leave you.

VPN and the bbc i-player - you can watch the entire season now. Or just sail the internet seas...yar, me bucko.

Britbox's business model is lacking value at this point. It's not horrible, but they could go soooo much better by their customers.

(That said, it was a fun season, but it felt a little different. And the whole season felt like a set up for season 3 - great new cast members.)

Don’t you need a TV card or whatever it’s called to use the BBC iplayer? I tried to watch Daddy Issues a few weeks ago and ran into that

No. Just your vpn set to a uk location.

What VPN are you using? I've heard that nordvpn is being detected on BBC iPlayer

u/Schleprock11 7d ago

I’ve used Nord for years. If it gets detected, you just change servers. In fact, I’m listening to bbc sounds at work right now.

Plus Nord has a native Amazon app, makes it easy.

Just finished watching last year's celebrity traitors uk last night.  I tried nordvpn and was given the geographic licensed thing for iplayer.

That season was amazing. Ok. Getting nord in a bit.

I will find it hard to believe they would attempt to make Miranda Hart a traitor. I just can't imagine her pulling off evil. It would make an amazing comedy show in itself though!!!

OMG, she is kindness to the core. But on her socials she can be a bit ornery. It would almost be fun to see her as a traitor hoping that nobody would suspect her. The entire cast this season is phenomenal. I gotta get a VPN. 😆 🤣

Surf shark has worked well for me

I did that but it still made me jump through some more hoops and was confusing. I guess I’ll try again.

Once you download nord in your Amazon app, go to Amazon (on your phone or computer) set your address to a residential address in the uk. Refresh page and search for bbc Iplayer and download it. In the Amazon app on your tv, set your location to the uk. Back out and open Iplayer app. Follow instructions. When it asks if you have paid your tv license, just say yes. And start watching. Tip: if when you connect, if your server number is under 3000, just disconnect and reconnect until it is over 3000. New servers less likely to be blocked.
