ITV Player requires a UK IP address to work.

Are you located in the UK?

I am also in Canada and have a 582 - I set up my PIA / VPN to UK and although it connects ok to the UK "local" splash pages I cannot get the video content to play - I know its because I require Adobe Flash Player but the ones in the Google Store have crap reviews. Can anyone assist with a remedy?

I Posted this in another thread.

Flash stopped being supported on Android after Android 4.2

ATV 1200 uses Android 4.2

ATV 585/1800/380/582 uses Android 4.4

Most app and web developers are now moving to HTML 5 instead of Flash, since Flash made a bad business decision basically to not license Mobile/Tablet OS to work with Flash for a low cost for licensing.

HTML 5 has also been proven to be much better then Flash in terms of Resource usage.

I would not be surprised to see BBC Player switching to HTML 5 soon.
