Fab... The geo thingy lookup only seems to prevent you from signing up
- I
just signed up then closed firefox, hopped onto my companies VPN, which
makes google think I'm in mainland Europe - re-start firefox and et voila I
get the warning but can still log in and have full playback!

I was hoping I could log in to schedule but expecting I could not playback
-
amazed I can do both .

Okay, so only a test via the VPN ... Am off to Spain next week so I'll try
it from there too!
