Firefox has an add-on service that sells cheap proxy servers "FoxyProxy". That's where I get my u.s. proxy. I'm pretty sure they sell british ones as well.

Hi Cisco, we were dissappointed about not getting iplayer progs. Something to do with program copyrights I was told by my techie son in law.
Also reading this http://www.tvproxy.co.uk/uk-tv-online.tpl it has something to do with bandwidth. You'll have to take some DVD's mon.

What a long strange trip it is.

Either that Spidey or hope that Ohm and Tutti will be enjoying Sherlock as well and may be watching it on Sunday night 
I can of course watch it on catch up when I return , but I like to watch when it's on

Hi Cisco
Sorry I didn't see this thread! Also sorry me and tutti pooped out on ya the other night and didn't make it over to Basjoes. There's just not enough hours in a day at the moment! Pity we didn't get to watch Sherlock with you. That would have been fun.
I use https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/. It allows you to create a VPN connection back to the UK or USA, so you can watch iPlayer, 4OD etc no probs
It works very well! It's £5 / month for a UK IP address or £9 / month for both a UK and USA IP address. I would have let you use my login while you were here if I'd known 
I also have Freesat on a 45cm dish for British telly.. Tha info is not much use for the tourist though!
Look forward to seeing you next time mate
