| 838622 | 2009-12-10 23:52:00 | Has anyone used the program hotspot anchor free and is there anything I should look out for with it. Ta | Roger Hunt (13648) | ||
| 838623 | 2009-12-11 00:37:00 | I've used it a couple of times to get around US only restrictions on websites. As for what to look out for, nothing that I'm aware of, although I wouldn't do stuff like internet banking on it. Also, it's a lot slower than your normal internet connection. Hope that helps :). |

| 838624 | 2009-12-11 02:50:00 | Thank you i went to the new site VEVO and it said it was not available in this country and was wanting to use it to get around this restriction do you think it would do that? | Roger Hunt (13648) | ||

Yes, I think it would work for Vevo. I used it once to listen to some tracks on Rhapsody and that worked fine :). |

| 838626 | 2009-12-11 04:30:00 | I haven't heard of that software. Do you know if it works with British websites, namely the BBC, because there is a series on there that requires the use of the BBC iPlayer, which won't work unless you are in Pomgolia. Thanks. | John H (8) | ||
| 838627 | 2009-12-11 05:54:00 | John I only heard of it yesterday so unable to give any advice on it yet Sounds like what I need though as it hides your ip address so they don't know where you are. |

Unfortunately it is unlikely to work with BBC iPlayer because as far as I'm aware there are only a limited number (if any) UK IPs provided by Hotspot Shield :(. I've tried viewing BBC iPlayer in NZ but it just drove me crazy :badpc:, in the end I ended up googling the show name with "watch online" attached, worked a treat :thumbs:. |

| 838629 | 2009-12-11 07:48:00 | Oh darn. That is such a useful series on BBC too. It is unlikely that any of our useless free to air channels will pick it up - they are only interested in crap American "shows" and reality tv. I hope that UKTV or Living Channel may pick it up in due course. Thanks anyway. |
