There are plenty of alternatives, thebox.bz, My-Private-Network (if you can afford £5/mo), etc. :)

I only watch BBCi player and ITV so I haven't tried the others. Is the green shield not showing at all Jane? One of my friends downloaded it and it stayed on the yellow shield all the time.

Jan 15/10

Just installed Expat Shield on one Windows 7 PC here at home. Everything fine.
Then installed on second W7 PC (on the same home network).Everything
worked there too.

But I then uninstalled it on the second pc. When I later re-installed, the installation went fine but when I click on the Connect/ON menu item, or on the Expat Shield Launch icon, the system is busy for a few seconds but no connection is made. It stays Disconnected.

I re-installed a few times, to no avail. I am not trying to run Expat simultaneously on both PC's.

Meanwhile, all is still fine on the first PC.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
ian :frown:

Yes, me too.

After uninstalling and reinstalling it several times (I even restored an older
state of Windows first) to no avail over half a day, it suddenly started
working on the third PC. During this period it worked fine on the other two PCs. Wierd.

I removed this completely as I'm certain a virus snuck in when I was downloading. I had to do a full scan to find the virus but it was there.

Mine stopped working as well. I was running V1.56 on Windows 7.

Just uninstalled it and installed V1.57 and all is working again.

Currently listening to the Spurs v Man Utd game on 5 Live.
