There is a reason for this. The BBC has a strongly enforced geoblocking policy. This means that anyone based outside of the United Kingdom is blocked from accessing BBC iPlayer content.

Some have gone to the extreme and been able to do this by installing a satellite on their apartment.
Watch on the big screen by setting up BritVPN on your Smart TV or casting from Chrome.

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.
