| 1221544 | 2011-08-07 23:56:00 | I have just seen that there is a program called Expat Shield that is supposed to let you do this. Is it a safe download? Thanks |

| 1221545 | 2011-08-08 00:02:00 | Look in Google (www.google.co.nz). Looks like its free, but it does have / use ads | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1221546 | 2011-08-08 23:45:00 | Thanks for the link, Speedy Gonzales. The Cnet download site users have given many negative experiences, so I am not going to try it. |

| 1221547 | 2011-08-09 01:03:00 | My reading of the CNET comments suggests it's quite good. (unless something has happened in the last month) Seems people expect it automatically to run BBC iPlayer or whatever and complain when it doesn't. Actually it just provides an IP proxy address (surrounded by advertising) and you need to choose what to connect to. Seems that if you take control over the browser you use, no problem - and quality reportedly quite good. That's my reading (but haven't tried it) |

| 1221549 | 2011-08-09 03:33:00 | You can get BBC TV using a satellite dish (90 cm or larger, preferably 1.2 m) and a C-band LNB. A bit tricky to set up but it does work ok. An internet feed may be easier to set up, but the satellite is 100% free ongoing once the initial investment is paid for. | ledzep (1441) | ||

| 1221551 | 2011-08-09 05:22:00 | I use witopia vpn (cost about $35 per year) which allows me to watch BBC Iplayer, Hulu etc. Really enjoyed watching tour de france coverage on ITV4 in the UK. | Barnabas (4562) | ||
