Just wanted to let you guys know that if you want to watch British TV, then you might want to check out this bit of software: http://www.expatshield.com/. It is free and works very well. Essentially it assigns a UK IP address to your PC so that websites, like the BBC iPlayer, think that you are based in the UK.

so far I have tried it for a week with no problems at all. Windows only.

cheers,

Fraser

p.s. This is not an advert and I am not trying to sell anything. In fact I am not associated with this software in any way. I have lived in Canada for six years and not being able to watch iPlayer or listen to football commentary from Radio 5 Live has always been an annoyance.

Looks like a dupilcate thread for the same resource.

Oops, my apologies. I should have done a search on the forum first.

Sorry about the dupe. As you were.

cheers,

Someone be kind enough to point me to the two threads and I will merge or delete as appropriate... thanks!

It didn't work for me but it does for most.

I wasn't able to find the original but it's recent.

The only one that I can find using search is in the goa section:

Cheers, Rather than merge this one in with that its probably easiest to just close this one and any comments on the site performance etc from her on in can get posted in the other thread instead?
