It looks like the BBC has blocked listeners trying to pick up its local stations digitally from abroad, for the duration of the Olympics. The BBC's rights to live commentary don't stretch beyond our borders, and I suppose there's a small risk an ex-pat might catch more than a minute of an event.
It's another consequence of the Discovery deal that the Express will undoubtedly blame on the BBC. Come on, Tim, I know the licence fee negotiations are live, but it's really not the BBC's fault.
