Sir needs a proxy/vpn in the UK. TOR of course is free but the transfer rate is usually somewhat limited. No use for live feeds but downloads will eventually work i suppose.

I'm not going to lose sleep over it though. Any idea why the BBC blocks their stuff outside of the UK? Is it something to do with your insane TV licensing laws? (How dare you receive something that is being freely transmitted? Or even own something that is capable of receving it even if you never turn it on.) -- Kev |
