RE: BBC iPlayer app
Hi Jonathan, Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, that is exactly what I am doing and it isn’t working for me! I double tap on categories, double tap on audio description, go to the bottom of that list and double tap on audio description a-z. I then see the list of programmes that contain AD in alphabetical order. I double tap on the one I want (Doctors in this case) and that takes me into the screen with the newest episode (today’s). If I double tap on play then I get audio description. However if I carry on down to the heading “more from this series” this is then followed by a list of all the other episodes available. Double tapping on any of these and then double tapping on the play button gives me the episode but without audio description. I have also tried this with Casualty and have got the same results. What am I doing wrong?

My German wife deals with similar issues when she wants to use the apps for her TV programs over there by logging into the German ap store and then into my mother-in-laws account with a VPN on.

Re: BBC IPlayer App Available in the US?
Well, have you tried the app to see if it works outside of the UK? It could be that the fires app store isn't clever enough to hide aps that have regiional restrictions. If it does work, are you absolutely certain that it's an official BBC app and not a third party one that uses some questionable methods to work around the restrictions? Cheers, Ben.

Ok, thanks, Jonathan. Eileen, no, the described videos and most of the other video is not accessible from the US, but radio is.
