Intresting that the TT 2013 official app was fixed,

Just installed the BBC Media Player app using my galaxy nexus on manx telecom just fine. Went to the nw 200 site on the bbc and the browser plays the video perfectly. Doesn't work in Chrome though, had to use the android stock browser, but your post isn't entirely correct. I use BBC i player & Media player on my laptop all the time but that is Windows. the problem is only on Android, and manx telecom know about it and are talking to Google. But I got the impression that they aren't that bothered. The message I get is this app is not available in your country. How you have got it to work I don't know, my samsung galaxy tab 2 & galaxy mini phone won't get past it & I know I can use a UK VPN but I shouldn't have to !

Hot off the press The TT is on ITV player I am told & ITV know were The Isle of Man is and don't have a problem with us downloading there app :-)

Northwest 200 practice was on today on BBC media player but not for Android on manx telecom users, TT is next ! but not for not if you bought an Android device from manx telecom. But be comforted that th BBC i player website is saying if you downloaded the app in the UK you can use it in the Isle of Man !

PC World said it is a manx telecom problem, Manx telecom said Google aren't interested in the Isle of Man they are a huge international company but they are talking to them, the BBC said they can't reply to all the emails sent to them but if it wasn't already on the list of FAQ (read complaints) they would try & get back to me. Sky said they would hope to get back to me within 24 hrs. Manx telecom also confirmed that if I went across with my Android device & downloaded BBC i player the app would work when I got back to the IOM, the same was true of most other apps that "are not available in your country" I have read that the other Channel Islands have the same problems, so Google aren't interested in off shore banking then ?

We pay a full TV license to the BBC but you can't access BBC i player on an Android device, if you go across & find a WiFi hot spot download the app & then return you have access ! But to balance things out if you subscribe to SKY & you want to use the free SKY GO service on an Android you can't use that either. Some one is taking the piss the thing is who Manx telecom Google or the BBC ?
