Just spotted it.
As I said it's OT but some might find it interesting.

It is.
Although, IMO, we made ourselves fat. No-one forced us to "super-size" our Mickey-Ds and drink the "Big Gulp" with 55 teaspoons of sugar in it.

I blame the Africans. If it wasn't for that cheap slave labour sugar would never have become so cheap and popular.

I recently posted these links on another newsgroup, with a more-international audience than this one. I can't remember, but can non-uk residents access i-player and its programmes? ISTR that there's some sort of restriction.

You need a uk IP address to view the i-player. I am sure there are ways to make it it look like you have one:-)

Dr Barbara Rolls did a study that proved that eating more food made you fat.

Nice thing is that it appears to be a proxy not a VPN, and the only thing you need to do[1] is to change your client DNS settings (or in your router). No fiddly VPN on embedded devices that cannot support such things.
[1] Well, sometimes clear app data for things like the Netflix app or it gets confused.I've been trying it watching US Netflix content (using my UK account) on the WII - UK Netflix has a s**te streaming catalogue, the US version is excellent.
But the proxy service claims to be able to serve BBC to the rest of the world in the same way...

There are. When I'm out of the UK I can watch I-player and the ITV player using a proxy server. I don't think of it as 'cheating', as I do have a valid TV licence.

I had no idea that having a UK account allowed access to the US catalogue.

??? Yes, I understand what the _proxy_ does - but I thought that UK Netflix _accounts_ only had access to UK Netflix.
I've discovered that a _US_ Netflix account doesn't allow me to access the _UK_ Netflix service (whether I try to access from the UK or the US), but a proxy server would allow me to use a US account from the UK.

Yeah - the accounst seem to be universal.
The decision as to what catalogue you get depends either on how the DNS resolves, and/or what client IP you (appear) to have.
Serving US content depends on having the right client IP.

Is it as easy, or does it need client side VPN?
