If for example you take your lappie to france and get an internet connection, why cant you just watch iplayer as normal?

You can still access the beebs content from France can't you?

No, the BBC are onto foreign watchers, they can see your internet connection is outside of the UK and block it. Its the same with normal UK channels as well. And probably the same if you were to try watch an overseas channel in the UK.
