BBC iPlayer behind a firewall?

I think some of the most stupid things occur though. I mean, some bbc pod
casts have content and music removed due to the rights being uk only for
that content.

With very limited exceptions (some very short clips or stuff negotiated and
paid-for track by track), commercially-published music isn't legally allowed
in podcasts full stop.. for UK consumption or otherwise. Hence the 7-day
limit and no downloads on iPlayer radio.

use on a particular network using an existing SIM card, the phone itself
is not network locked and could be used on any of them. So it can be
done.

Of course it can be done. I suspect that the phone was second-hand and the
subsidy had already been 'paid back'.

It was sold as brand new, and both it and the packaging looked brand new. Not
only that but it came with their standard 12 month guarantee. Not a
particularly special phone, but perfectly functional and for the price I
thought it a bargain. I'm tempted to get another one for myself, just as a
spare.

I am interested in using BBC iPlayer but I'm a paranoid git and
don't
want a PC than can connect to the rest of the world on the same
network
as my home PCs. So I was considering putting a firewall between the
"iPlayer PC" and the other PCs but the question is then...

Q/ Is there a way for one of my secure PCs to play the content
stored on
the iPlayer PC? This would also be a way of using a laptop to play
the
content but leaving a regular desktop connected for downloads.

And clearly the only reason to do this is to get the hi-quality
playback
so please, not suggestions to use the "live" feeds ;-).


Not that I've used the download version of the iPlayer for ages, but
isn't the quality of the "high quality" iPlayer TV streams better than
that of the download files these days?

The adoption of DAB was the most incompetent technical
