There's no fucking about when it comes to tethering an iPhone to a computer, not sure about to a PS3 though.

I obviously didn't mean the physical method of doing it, I just meant in general like trying to watch a several hundred MB file though a mobile phone connection.

So you want it the iPhone? Why don't you just use the PS3?

But if you're not on Vodafone or 3 then it wouldn't have worked no matter what you've done to the phone...

BBC block people from iPlayer if they don't have an IP address from Vodafone, 3 or from a non-cellular gateway.

When did they start doing that?

Since as long as I can remember. If you try and watch a video it will tell you to get into WiFi. There's probably a way around it, like by using a proxy somehow though...

You sure it's not a browser string or something?
I used to watch it on my laptop tethered to my phone, december was the last time I tried though.

I got that message when I tried to watch the F1 on the train a while back. That's the only time I've tried it tethered actually...
