Dinky and all others who have helped with overcoming the changes BBC have 
made a Huge thank you for your great work which is very much appreciated.

After reading theregister story and the comments I had a thought:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/11/03/beeb_clamps_down_on_naughty_iplayer_
watching/

Email a complaint to the "Ministry of Fun" aka  
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-culture-media-
sport

regarding:

1. The double speak in:
"...designed to clamp down on clients such as XBMC or get_iplayer, which 
allow programmes to be watched or recorded."
"The iPlayer team continues to work hard to maximise access to the iPlayer 
across a wide range of platforms and devices."

2. The fact that iPlayer is only available to UK residents unless BBC allow 
open access to a show, so using GiP, XBMC etc is no different to using 
NowTV, Smart TV etc.

3. As such BBC should not be wasting license fee payers' money on 
developing methods to prevent third party solutions to improve license fee 
payers' and UK residents' access to BBC material in a format that suits 
their users.

After all, GiP is no different from the old method of recording TV to VCR 
or Radio to cassette tape.

I liked this comment: "They need to get rid of all middle managers who 
cannot come up with a meaningful answer to "what did you do, today, to make 
things better for licence fee payers"

Cheers,

Peter
