This is a quick video guide that will get rid of the "BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only", when you try to access BBC iPlayer from abroad.
I am using a UK VPN server from British TV Anywhere and a Windows 8 laptop.
There are more guides on the British TV Anywhere website for other operating systems, including iPad, Android, iOS and Mac here http://www.britishtvanywhere.com/trial/
Enjoy :)
