Why Doesn't BBC iPlayer Work Straight Away in Greece?

The BBC iPlayer streaming service does not work automatically in Greece due to rights issues. The BBC sells its online content to local Greek streaming platforms and TV channels which is why those in Greece are blocked from accessing the site.

Troubleshooting Common Errors

BBC iPlayer proxy error

This error occurs when the BBC detects a VPN or proxy. BritVPN uses residential IPs to appear as a genuine UK viewer, preventing this error.

Other routes to BBC shows from Greece

If you're not convinced our Beebs service is the right option for you, we've listed the best ways one can access the BBC 1 livestream from within Greece.

1. Virtual Private Network (VPN)

VPNs allow users to legally bypass these geo-restrictions. This helps those wanting to get their BBC fix. VPNs are a solution but perhaps not the best solution for everyone. Firstly, they take a small amount of technical know-how to set up and maintain.

2. Proxy Server

Similar to a VPN as it will mask your Greek location when trying to access the BBC iPlayer. The main advantage is they are lighter than a VPN and will not slow down your connection.
