Default The BBC...............Argh

I just have had enough with the BBC (Sport) website. You can not watch anything because it is not available in your terriorty. I am sure there must be away around this so that the BBC think you are in the UK.

Anyone got a step by step guide on how to get around this.

Desperate to watch the Wales vs South Africa rugby match live.

The way around this is called an "web proxy" or an "internet proxy". Basically a website, that re-translates your queries from its own web address - so if you really hung up on getting to the content restricted to a certain area, you will need to find a proxy server, located in that area and use them. The connection speed may be awful, so the video is out of the question, but downloads may still work.
