  1. Expatshield is handy. Reckon they're trustworthy enough too as surely it'd be shut down & not be as well known as it is if they were engaging in stealing people's info, like a lot of VPN/proxys. BritTV's been down so been using Expatshield myself, but missing their huge channel selection. Got an email from admin earlier saying it should be back up some time tomorrow, though.
  2. So you honestly think 99.9999 of the London rioters were looting in protest????? Doubt 99.99999% of them could even spell polyticks (sic).
  3. Proxys only work with Internet Explorer for me, which is annoying as IE is awful. & there are huge security issues associated with proxys as if the individual running the proxy is untrustworthy you could be opening yourself up for identity theft, spyware & viruses. By using a proxy you are opening the contents of your communications to the owner of the proxy &, as proxys are in effect cheating your IP address to break laws, are you willing to take that risk? Much rather pay a tenner. I'll stick with these, thanks: http://televisionbbcnewstv.com/liveabroad
  4. All channels, except the VNC list work for the preview, I think. Should mention that it's the first & only service that offers iPad & iPhone streaming outside the UK also. You get it across all platforms for the tenner monthly fee also.
  5. Been looking for a decent streaming service to watch UK TV abroad for several months & all I found was software with largely non-English channel selections, most channels not working, poor quality or glitchy when they do & very slow buffer times. Finally found a site that was perfect in every way that I'm sure will interest all ex-pats. Free 15 minute preview from here so you can decide for yourselves: http://televisionbbcnewstv.com/liveabroad Will save you a great deal of messing about with proxys, VPN connections & the like. & that's if you're extremely lucky & happen to find a worthwhile streaming service, which are few & far between. Plays in near-perfect quality through my 42" plasma via HDMI also. Hope it's of benefit.
