Anyway, I use a DNS spoofer - no VPN here, so I'd just change its DNS settings.

spoofer, i'll be looking that up.
ipad to apple tv may push my shitty router beyond its limits

Re: Apple TV

A bit of a moot point, but the ipad/mac/iphone goes via the router to the Apple TV rather than direct to the apple TV. Shite router = shite connection.

Itunes can also airplay from a normal PC/laptop aswell.

None whatsoever. However if your router thinks it's in the US, you'll get a much better selection of services (Netflix stands out, along with renting more recent movies). Hardware is the same regardless where you purchase.

routers are very cheap now. I bought two not long ago - 150dh a pop and they are brilliant.

Perfect router although a little dear.

I've just ordered one of those time capsules so I don't have to worry about backing up every other week. has the router built in so hoping it also fixes the problem of s not being able to use the interweb upstairs because of the shitty signal.
