David,

Can an American file a complaint with BBC's nationalist policy? Don't they realize we live in a globalized world, and that we allow British citizens to see our Frontline documentaries, among others? I sense that BBC still thinks they're part of a global empire

Can I watch downloaded BBC iPlayer programmes outside the UK?


If you download a programme to your laptop or hard drive, or to your phone or tablet via the BBC iPlayer App, you can watch it anywhere in the world. But you can’t download any more programmes until you’re back in the UK.

The BBC uses Geo-IP technology to identify where you are, based on the location of your internet service provider (ISP). This is to ensure that only people in the UK can enjoy programmes on BBC iPlayer. Find out more about on-demand rights.
