If the database announces that your iP address is not registered in the UK you'll get blocked. It's a good idea to try though, a few of these IP databases are outdated and may wrongly place you in the United Kingdom even if you are not. For instance there's quite a piece of French IP addresses that get listed as UK addresses and these can play BBC Iplayer without issues.
So what can you do if your IP address is listed as being outside of the UK, are the BBC Iplayer pleasures like Formula One and Match of the day denied you? Well there is hope and it's essentially quite a simple conumdrum to clear up. So lets have a look at some options.
BBC IplayerProxy Options
the cheapest option but not necessarily the most simple is to attach back to a UK machine, what you need is to form a straightforward VPN or SSH tunnel back to a computer in the UK. You can then modify your proxy settings in your browser and your IP address will seem to be based in the UK. This technique works rather well if you have some technical data and access to a machine in the UK, one of the Problems is that you will need a good upload speed from the United Kingdom machine or the connection will be extremely slow.
another choice is the BBC IPlayer stand in method, find a free substitute server and surf through this. Naturally you'll have to make sure it's in the UK but it should enable to view BBC IPlayer. The downsides are that you have to continually search for new proxies, the free ones rarely last very long, infrequently only hours before they are overloaded. Ensure you don't do your standard perusing through these proxies though and confirm your pathogen checkers are recent.
The other method is to use a commercial option, this is just paying a fee to use a UK based proxy server. It works pretty much the same as the free system with the benefits that it is much safer, far faster and you can connect any time you wish.

sureshkg Another classical example of the gross misuse of Dowry Act (498A) is the case of television celebrity, Suhaib Ilyasi. India's Most Wanted television host was in controversy after the dispute over his daughter Aaliya's custody rose soon after Ilyasi's wife Anju committed suicide on January 10, 2000 in Delhi. While his mother%u2013in-law, Rukma Singh wanted custody of the child on the ground that she had the right under Muslim law, Ilyasi had taken the plea that his marriage with Anju was not solemnized as per the Muslim law but had been a civil affair. His sister-in-law Rashmi Singh came from Canada after six months of her sister's death and filed a complaint with the police against Ilyasi, alleging that he used to torture his wife Anju for dowry.
The case took bizarre turn when Anju's brother Prashant Singh and father Prof K P Singh took a diametrically opposite stand and described the allegations against Ilyasi as ``rubbish.'' Prashant told Express Newsline:`whatever my mother and sister Rashmi are stating against Suhaib Ilyasi is a lot of rubbish. There is no truth in their statement or in the charges filed by the police against Suhaib. If you are holding Suhaib responsible for Anju's suicide, then my mother and sister are also to blame, as they unduly interfered in their family matters.
K P Singh, a retired IIT professor, agreed with Prashant. %u201CMy wife and daughter are breaking up my family%u201D. Both Anju's father and brother allege that Rukma and Rashmi have given statements against Suhaib as `they wanted custody of baby Aaliya. When Ilyasi delayed that, they put him in trouble.'
Anju's mother Rukma Singh had changed her earlier statement given in January, 2000, in which she had stated that she did not suspect any foul play by Suhaib Ilyasi. However when Ilyasi refused to give custody of his daughter, she change her statement and alleged dowry harassment against Ilyasi.
It has been alleged for long that Dowry Act (498a) in India is being consistently misused by clever women for extortion and blackmailing. The NCRB records suggest that during 2005-2006, 94% of the 498A, 304B cases filed by women or by her relatives were primarily to settle scores.
Section 498A in itself is, however, not meant to deal specifically with dowry -- it is commonly considered to be a 'dowry law' because domestic violence against a wife related to dowry demands is considered to be within the scope of 'cruelty' envisaged by the Section.
