In order to be able to watch BBC iPlayer from outside UK you need to change your real IP address that you use for browsing to a UK address. This can be done using several products, including Anonymity Gateway, as I shown in a previous post: How to watch BBC iPlayer outside of the UK.
Anonymity Gateway is not the only product that provides UK IP addresses. There are several others, like IP Hider, Invisible Browsing, Hide My IP 2009, etc. In this post I show how to use Hide My IP 2009 to access BBC iPlayer.
As you probably know, when you try to access iPlayer from outside UK you get a message similiar to the one below:
With Hide My IP 2009 you can easily overcome this problem and watch your favorite shows on BBC iPlayer. The first thing you should to is to download and install Hide My IP 2009. Detailed info about how to do it you can find in this post: Hide My IP 2009 – Simple and Effective way to change your IP address.
The next step is to Start Hiding IP and find a suitable proxy to be able to unlock BBC iPlayer. To do this you have to press the Refresh button several times until you get a UK IP address.
Then, reload BBC iPlayer and start watching your favorite show. Simple, isn’t it?

P.S. If Hide-My-IP does not work for you, then check a premium VPN service like HideIpVPN, HideMyAss or IAPS Security Services.

the ip address from scotland is blocked and it the only one it gives you if dont wanna buy it
@meds – You could try using Anonymity Gateway. It has 2-3 UK IPs. Unfortunately it has a short trial period.
HideMyIP works pretty well, have had it for some time with the premium service. However it does not allow you to download from the iPlayer website only to view. There are other IP solutions on the market that offer both VPN and Proxy optinos for the same price as HideMyIPs proxy only solution.
Thanks! Now I can watch MI High!
can you get viruses through this?
Seems like an interesting piece of software.
Sorry to say, but this Hide My IP 2009 only works occasionally for videos on US sites; it’s very unstable (at least in trial version on my Intel Celeron (1.86 Ghz) notebook with mobile internet connection!)
Furthermore, when finally getting an ‘UK’ adress, it was lokated in Turkey (!), according to this website ‘how-to-hide-IP.info’-service!
