Test with google home page and whatsmyip.com .. make sure you have the server IP not the client .. and then see if iplayer works. I would not be surprised if it works for you as a UK resident .. probably because the Beeb have some
super-cookie to recognise you as you already used it
legally from the UK.
However, even if it does work, your router will be downloading and then streaming to your wife .. double data as it were .. so it will probably be quite choppy .. if it's even watchable at all (what with HD).
