My access to My 5 seems to be blocked, are they treating IOM and CI as outside the UK now I wonder?    PC not a smart tv.

Yes. Had the same problem. Taken it up with C5 and they point the finger at Google Play. Taken it up with MT. They point the finger at C5. Impossible to communicate with Google. Posted it up here on an old thread a couple of weeks ago. Tatlock reckons if you go into Costa and download the app on their wifi it bypasses the problem. Not got around to trying it yet.

Yeah I had to download a 'UK App' a while ago and was told to do it at Starbucks or Currys.  Assuming it's something to do with the IP address for UK chains over here.  Anyway, it did work at Starbucks.
