Anyone got a proxy connection going and viewing some of the Olympic coverage that's blocked by NBC in the US?
I of course wish them a happy monopoly of coverage but there are some things that I'd like to watch that they don't spend any time upon. And since the BBC (among others I guess but the BBC is the only once I've found) has 4 or 5 live streaming channels, I'd like to be able to see how well the technology works.
I've tried a couple of anonymous UK proxies, but with IE 5.1 and the latest RealPlayer for 9.1, I get either no content or sometimes a neverending install of a VBR update for RealPlayer. Or just a 10 second splash stream for BBC Sport but no actual live content.
To find the links I've been trying, see www.bbc.com and search for "streaming Olympics".
Thanks for help!
Brian
