Hello everyone, I understand that this topic is not exactly Gentoo related. It does relate, however, to a Gentoo-ish way to solve the "issue".
This year I enjoyed much to follow the Formula 1 season, and I have one problem with it: I have a TV set (actually I borrow it for the day), but I have no access to Eurosport and thus I cannot follow the Saturday Qualifications for each Grand Prix. I can follow them live using the official Formula 1 website [1]. There are, however, no live commentaries (live as in voice). I searched a bit on the Internet and found the BBC Radio Station [2]. I have one single technical problem with it: it's "Available Online (UK Only)". So, my questions: Is there a way to make Opera or Firefox believe that I am located in the UK? I am using (on a regular basis) the following environment variables. LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 Nonetheless, it seems to make no difference to either browser. Maybe someone knows exactly how does BBC, or Google and other sites proposing their web pages in your local language, determine your location? For example, when accessing http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox,net , it indicates me immediately and correctly from what country I am accessing the site. When I enter my IP address in the "CountryWhois" box, it is unable to identify my coordonates.
