What is Local ?

Just a couple of questions to throw up.

1) What is the category ‘Local’ supposed to represent? Local to where? I’m in the UK but most of the Local feedback seems to represent the US.

2) Still on a local issue. The BBC is a UK news provider but I’m unable to view any of their content. Whenever I try to view any BBC content, it says ‘This story is not able to be viewed from your location’.

Not sure about your 1st question but I think with the second one the BBC only allow you to reproduce their content to visitors from outside the UK – some wierd licensing laws I think.

Thanks for that Mark.

So I’m a bit stumped here in the UK really. Local feeds give me US news and my local news source doesn’t allow local people to view their content.

mmmmm, not a good start…. :-)

Typical BBC, we pay for it but we can’t view it!
Kev.
Ps. you’re right about the forum. and it’s not very lively is it.

Yeah, it does seem a bit daft Kev.

Obviously I can’t click on my own newsfeeds, but I do look at them here in Voxant. I just saw a BBC feed on the mall shootings in the States, but even that said it was unavailable from my location.
