'BBC iPlayer does not work in the UK' message

Helloo Paul. 
We're glad to help you with this. 
Certain streaming services has taken counter measures to block its users from accessing its content through Secure VPN servers. 
While we do continue to add new servers and ip addresses, they are quite fast to identify the same. 
However, you can try connecting to streaming servers (location) such as Wonderland, Gotham City in AVG Secure VPN to check if it helps.

I switched to UK Wonderland and it makes no difference.

When I tried to play anything from BBC iPlayer on my laptop, it says 'BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues.BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues.'

I am in UK and, according to 'What is my IP address' search, my IP location is London, even though I am based in West Yorkshire, and my ISP is AVAST Software s.r.o.

The question is how I can leave AVAST as I have no connection with them, and get to the point where I can watch anything from BBC iPlayer.  I have no problem watching the content on my phone as the IP is Virgin Media Limited with the correct location.

I cannot find the AVAST except in 'avastgf' if that has a connection with AVG.

What should I do?
