Listening to BBC Radio Streams Outside UK in MP (1 Viewer)

[SpudR]

try this:
mms://212.58.252.13/wms/radio2/radio2_nb_e1s1 - try this in windows media player FIRST!

I know the BBC have issues about 'out of UK' broadcasting

Neither of them work in WMP - as you say this is most likely due to being outside the UK.

Is there any way to fool the BBC into thinking my PC / request is from the UK?

They scan the originating IP to see if it comes from a UK based site.
You'd have to somehow spoof your external IP

does this one work??
mms://wmlive.bbc.net.uk/wms/radio5/5Live_int_e1s1 - it's the Radio 5 live INTERNATIONAL stream...
If it does, then I'd guess its your international status...

That one works fine - shame they don't have mms streams for all channels.

So no way of playing the RP streams natively in MP?

guess not - you could try the .ram files and use the mPlayer plugin, but i have not tried it sorry!
you could always move to the UK
