The steps are a little different depending on which operating system that you are using. If you select the system tray or right-click it, you should get an option to 'Customize' system notification icons. You can then choose the options to hide or show various icons in the system tray.

SOURCE: Why does expat shield no longer work in order to

Usually what has happened is that the Beeb blocks the ip#'s that anchor uses. Anchor then does a change and it shows up as ip#'s outside of that range and it works again. Until the next time.

I think the longest I have had anchor down was a bit over two weeks. Usually it is off for a day or so every few weeks. Just keep trying Anchor is are pretty good at getting it working again quickly.

Testimonial: "Thank you. I hope so. It is the only cultural satisfaction I get ;)"

SOURCE: Love expat shield. BBC iplayer

Hi there !

You need to upgrade the flash player you are using because the website does not recognized it anymore or it needs higher version of flash player installed in your computer. I have same problem this before and it works.

I am sure it will solve your problem.

Why is BBC iPlayer not working via Expat Shield

I dont have a proper solution ,, sorry ,,i have the same problem since May 19th. From one day to the next ,, suddenly the bbc iplayer does not recognise my expat shield UK address ,, it keeps telling me "programmmes are not available in your area. But when i check on other sites where i am , my IP address is UK, and i can connect to itv player no problem. I have tried numerous times since then, and still no connection, i think Hotspotshield has done this deliberately,to force people to pay for the Elite service.I wrote to them (anchorfree) about this problem, but the answer is always about Hotspotshield ,,, they fail to recognise my question is about Expat shield,, useless support service.
Anyway my small solution at the moment is Hola unblocker(mozilla FF add on),, on some days it sticks a bit but most days it works fine

Has EXPSHIELD stopped worked with the new BBC site?

I got bbc twice after the new iplayer was rolled out but then no joy. The only improvement is that the message telling you its only available in the UK is not as ugly as it was before. I've tried reinstalling expat-shield and tried switching to google chrome but no difference. Seems to be a general lack of noise about it on the web so far, not sure why ??

Try to connect to the bbciplayer and tells me i have to pay

The BBC have started to check who has a license and require login with username (email) and password then a code that checks your login and IP address of your machine.

Expat sheild will not install due to compatibility issues

Did you uninstall with a program like Revo uninstaller? That program finds files that are often left behind with a routine uninstall.

Using Ex Pat Shield, BBC progs no longer start and a notice, 'Task failed at step 0: config was empty.' (Or 'Task queue failed ditto' Everything worked fine just days ago.

I have exactly the same problem, same error message. I first noticed the problem yesterday (September 11). Error message appears when trying to watch live TV through iPlayer. BBC News Channel works OK from BBC News website. Live sports broadcasts work OK through BBC Sport website. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player but it made no difference.
