I stand to be corrected but when you say France is now supported....do you mean supported by BBCiPlayer? I thought you could only watch BBCiPlayer if your IP address was in the UK. To watch from outside the UK, you would need a VPN or a proxy.

There's an international version of BBC iPlayer that's supported in several countries, including Canada, where I live. This version of the app is a paid subscription service, with limited free viewing.

It would appear that it is indeed the paying service, it wants me to subscribe but I can't, it says that it is available in France, but not where I live. I'm thinking i does think I'm in the uk & that the paying service isn't available there - onky the free one!!!

Hey, I appear to be able to view the progs oing via the BBC site, so the end result is achieved :)

Well, it would appear that is the problem, if I try & dowlad iplayer from the BBC site I can't s the french app store doesn't have it (which clearly means I'm getting another another version) now just need to find a way to change stores (there's an app I want from the US store too!) - off to search the forum!!!

Thanks guys :)
