Many of you are aware of the changes that TV Catchup have made to their website and we are in discussions with them and also investigating what we can do to get around this problem. The inability to use their service has been caused by their new security protocols that they have introduced and these were ordered by their new executives who have interpreted their broadcasting license very literally
TV Catchup has blocked all users that are accessing their site either via a VPN service or from a data centre, our service like our competitors use both technologies because the only method for someone outside the UK to watch British TV is to connect to a UK server via a VPN (that is what you use when you connect to our server), plus our servers are located at a data centre.
What they have done will effect a lot of people because everyone who is not located in the UK will not be able to use TV Catchup. We will do some more investigation but it doesn’t look promising and we suspect that this service will no longer be available – will let you know how we get on
Live TV is still available via Zattoo and the BBC iPlayer sites
