All you need is a Sling Box and it will stream all your channels via internet to your other Slingbox, PC, Laptop etc...

When you try to view it, it will realise you are in Canada and not play, just like the 4od and Channel 5 apps that they have recently released. You need your XBOX to go through a VPN, which as I found out through this thread: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...light=XBOX+VPN, is tricky.

It will let you watch Sky News though.
