Missing hss.dll driver file

For the past few weeks I have been able to download programmes from BBC IPlayer for the desktop iplayer. Have deleted and reinstalled all related programmes several times, but when reinstalling Expatshield it tells me that I need to install an additional HSS driver, in a separate box, and then when I click to OK it does nothing, and does not advance the Expatshield download. I am able to download for mediaplayer, but have lost the functions that make IPlayer special.

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 ;)"

How to Crack/Wipe DRM from Downloaded BBC iPlayer Programs

Quoted from: iPlayer ripper

BBC iPlayer - A service that lets you catch up with radio and television programs from the past week of BBC. BBC iPlayer use Microsoft's "Play for Sure" DRM system as copyright protection, thus the programs are downloaded, they will self destruct after 30 days because it is 'DRM License protected'. And once played you have up to seven days to finish watching the program. BBC Content will be automatically deleted from your computer once its expiry date has been reached. If you are outside the UK and connected to the internet you can only listen live and listen again to most of our radio programs.
BBC iPlayer Ripper - Daniusoft DRM Converter makes it easy to remove DRM protection from downloaded BBC iPlayer programs, such as DRM protected WMV video files, to make these programs DRM free and non seven or thirty days time limited so that we can save BBC contents permanently, Or you can Rip BBC iPlayer programs to any portable devices like iPad, iPod, PSP, Zen, Walkman, etc? Or even can we burn the files downloaded from iPlayer to DVD disc.
In the following passage I am going to show you how to use Daniusoft DRM Converter to remove DRM protection from BBC iPlayer programs step by step.
Step 1: Free download Daniusoft DRM Converter. Install and launch it as what you usually do with other application software.

Step 2: Click the "Add" button to import downloaded BBC iPlayer programs files, or directly drag and drop them into the main window.

Step 3: Then click the low-right "Setting" button, on the setting board there are many options to costomize the output audio & video properties. Choose an ideal output file size and quality to meet your players' requirement.

Step 4: After finishing the settings, backward to main interface, click "Start" to begin the conversion process. When conversion done, you go with DRM-free BBC iPlayer programs in various formats, or enjoy BBC iPlayer video music on any portable devices like iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch 4, PSP, Zen, Walkman, etc?

Issues with iPlayer and any BBC programmes not loading on jvc smart tv (BBC has the tv on its list as should be working

Check if there is a software update for the TV. That might resolve the problem if JVC knew there was a problem between their TVs and the BBC iplayer. Otherwise contact JVC to see if their is an issue which has not been sorted out yet.

I want to play bbc iplayer downloads with windows media player si

I find the K-lite Codec pack covers just about every video format. The included older style windows media player classic is also far less problematic than windows media - download 'Full' version here;
