Sorry, this website is not available in your country?

Anyone else having this problem? I am here in the UK, honest!

Or have they "done" something to the PC network at work to fool it into thinking I'm in America (and stop me sneaking a peek at Rocks & Co when I should be working?)!

While I'm on the subject, it's quite annoying when sites do this. I used to travel on business a lot, and watching shopping channels online was usually much more interesting than action films dubbed into languages I don't speak or hourly repeats of CNN news on the hotel TV. Restricting sites in this way stops Brits abroad from watching.

Hi MissMagpie

Please visit this site:

http://my-addr.com/your-ip-and-city-country-isp-latitude-longitude/geo-ip-region-lookup/my_geo.php

and see if, for whatever reason, your country code is not displaying as GB. If it's not, you should ask your ISP why - if it is, then I have no idea what's wrong!

Sounds like a technical problem with the website then.

Rocks & Co, please solve it ASAP!

I wonder if you two are using the same ISP?

Out of interest, can you access the BBC iPlayer, as that's only meant to be accessible to UK residents I think. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer

Thanks, Rocks & Co - problem solved! The website believes that I'm in England again today.
