I signed up to use it on the pc.
Logged in and went to a channel to test it, which opened Winamp, but I could not get it to play anything. Not even a menu, just that it was signing in to the ip address?
Will have another go later if I remember.

Please keep us updated if you get a reply NAO.
I wonder why it works on your pc and not mine?
I will have to look into this more. On your pc does it open Winamp as well, or will it run on Windows media player as well? :-?

Just had a look it seems they check IP for access by only certain countries, k


Your ISP, British Telecommunications, is a valid UK ISP and compatible with TVCatchup.
Access from another ISP and/or location may be restricted.

This is a NTL error and nothing to do with us I'm afraid, we are trying to speak to them and find out when they are going to fix this.
Kind Regards

Thanks for the update NAO.
Now it makes sense. Vermin being the pratts they are will be blocking it because if I remember rightly, catch up tv is one of the selling points for their subscribers!
Tight gits, it's restrictions like this that make me think they might lose a lot of customers and money when BT has it's fibre optic network nationwide and people can get everything from Sky and proper broadband speeds not through the telephone's copper wire?
There will be more independance to choose your providers then.

Your probably alright because your on Talk Talk, whereas I am on Vermin and fall foul of their UNFAIR usage restrictions policy which will be blocking me from getting it! :mad:
