UK based listeners may not be aware of this, but the BBC will allow/deny
streams based on IP address for certain games.

The Beeb only has UK rights for premiership games, so it blocks access
to streams for users whose IP addresses are not in the IP range
allocated to UK based ISP's.

Not sure what rights they have for the World cup.

It's simple enough to get round by using a UK proxy server, but these
usually don't have enough bandwidth for the stream to work reliabily.
