Armour666 0 #3 March 19, 2008 you will need to find a proxie here is how to use one http://support.microsoft.com/kb/135982 and then just use google to find one http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=proxy+server&meta= But you will need to find one in the US so that it will apear that you are in the US and can watch the show. I use tis for the same reason as I'm in Canada and cant watch other shows , You will find most proxies wont stay up for a long time due to bandwith and suchSO this one time at band camp.....

labrys 0 #8 March 19, 2008 Some are free (those are sometimes hard to access) and some you can use for a minimal fee. What do you use for browsing the web?Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

labrys 0 #10 March 19, 2008 These are someone's instructions for using a proxy to watch a video in GB. You'd just want to use the lists to find a proxy in the USA. QuoteLast time it was ABC who did not allow their series to be viewed by people from outside the USA and the method that I described back then is still valid for the World Cup (or any other streaming content on the internet). But this time I want to introduce a faster method which should work most of the time for you. Visit a website like whatismyproxy.com to check on your own IP. Remember this IP, you will come back to this site and check the IP again with a proxy enabled. Search google using strings like “country proxy list”, “england proxy list” and the like. You will come up with search results like publicproxyservers.com or proxy server list. All show a table with proxies including the country the proxy is hosted. Browse for proxies that are located in the same country as the content provider of the streams. Copy one of the IPs and remember the port. In Firefox open Tools –> Options. Select Connection Settings and select Manual Proxy Configuration. Add the IP to the HTTP Proxy Row and enter the Port in the field next to it. Click Use this proxy server for all protocols and test it by navigating to the whatismyproxy.com website again. See if the page loads fast and the IP is different from the one the website displayed earlier when you checked your real IP. If you see a different IP it means two things. First, the proxy is working (assuming it does not take ages to load pages) and second your are surfing relativly anonymous. The BBC website will check your IP and detect that you are coming from Britain and display their treasures for you. Note that it is still possible to detect your real IP by the means of Java for example. If you have questions let me know, I´ll be glad to help out. The great advantage of this method is that you can check and use proxies no matter what operating system you are using. A disadvantage is that it could take a while until you find a fast working proxy that is located in the country you need. If you have troubles try charon to verify proxies, the how to is available from my ABC article.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
