Can't Access iPlayer via Internet Pass-through - is there a workaround? My HTC Desire HD plays nicely with Windows 7 and while at work I use it for personal web access, quicker than H/G/E connection and free.

However when attempting to view/listen to content on the BBC's iPlayer I get a message which asks me to switch to a wi-fi connection to access their content.

Is there a way of getting over this? Seems like very odd design ...

Thanks.
From the BBC's iPlayer Mobile FAQ:


  Programmes can be played through a
  wi-fi connection. Customers with 3 UK
  and Vodafone (except for those using
  Android, Apple or Symbian 3 devices)
  can also access programmes via their 
  3G network. The BBC is working to make
  BBC iPlayer available over more 3G
  networks.


This seems to hold up with my testing using both the website and the app, I'm on Vodafone UK and get this message on 3G on the website:


  Please switch to a wi-fi connection to
  play this programme. 3G streaming of
  BBC iPlayer programmes is not
  currently available for this handset.


And in the app:


  Please switch to a Wi-Fi connection to
  play this programme.


Presumably the BBC are just checking your connection type and can see it's not a Wifi connection, they're not aware of the reverse tethering you're using and so are just treating it as if its a 3G connection.

Does your company have a Wifi access point you could connect the phone too, that would eb the easiest way to get round this, and I'm presuming if they're happy for you to tether the phone to the PC, then they wouldn't have an issue with employee's devices hooking up to their wifi.
