Just wondering if anyone else signed up for the BBC Archive Trial, and if so, have they obtained their login details yet, more specifically, have they been able to login?

I received the login details a short while ago but have been unable to login. The url supplied by the beeb was:

http: //www.bbc.co.uk/archive/trial (yes I know there is a space after the http bit, it's to stop any silly munging of the url that vB might do to create search engine friendly links)

However that redirects me to this:
I'm primarily trying it on OS X 10.4.10 under Safari 2 and Firefox 2 and see the same result, but I've also just quickly tried it on XP under IE7 and see the same thing.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

maybe the trial is limited to uk based IPs as it us afterall who pays the tax that funds the service

It does appear to be checking the IP address, as using a proxy server does appear to make the screen appear. Would have been nice if they had some error screen to tell you this though. I happen to be out of the country at the moment, hence why my IP won't be listed as being in the UK.

give me your login details and I'll see if I can get it to work.
