Title: bbc1 and 2.
Post by: stuart on November 21, 2008, 02:24:03 AM: i read yesterday bbc1 and 2 were going to start broadcasting online in a couple of weeks time. the article went on to saying that it was only available e acessed from the uk, however expats could use it with a system that blocks where you are online from , anybody know of this system??

Post by: Rimms on November 21, 2008, 15:44:25 PM: I heard this topic covered on the radio yesterday, the reason that they don't allow online viewing outside of the UK is to avoid being sued over media rights, for instance, if they run a Warner Brothers film, their deal with Warner Bros will be to make the film available to everyone with a TV licence. If the film is also shown online in Turkey then that may undermine any exclusivity agreement between a Turkish broadcaster and the film company.

They did talk about the sort of software that Firo has installed, and it seems to be a decent option, but only if you can get high speed internet access.

Good luck with this, Just think, Jeremy Kyle 5 days a week !

Good luck

I have problems with Firefox as I have Java on my laptop but through Firefox it tells me to download it and then it will not download. Through IE I have no problems as it reads and accepts that I have Java.
