Free proxy servers = free poxy servers, every time I want to watch anything I have to find one that's actually up and not too busy and even then the transfers can drop off. Still, you gets what yous pays for I guess
I suppose I could pay for a better one but it doesn't seem worth it at this rate:BBC iPlayer - no problems. Well, one problem - I've been out of the country for 6 years and I've no idea what anything is anymore! Although I have been watching Rab C. Nesbitt which the wife loves, even if she does need the subtitles (now I've realised it has them
)ITV player - adverts, adverts and more adverts. I thought Nova here were bad (in one break I counted 24 adverts, enough to let you forget what you were watching!) but ITV seem to have a break of 5 every ten minutes. I watched The Sweeney the other day (bit of nostalgia) but between the (advertisement) server going slow (advertisement) and the (advertisement) ad... (hold on a mo while I change servers... dobee dobee dobee dum de doobee... no....no.... aha!) between the server going slow and the adverts, it was pretty much (advertisement
) unwatchable. There's no subtitles either.4oD & Ketchup TV - They still know
4oD just says there's a problem but %$&? puts a message up "Access Denied (NON UK)", this being after they've shown the poxy adverts 
I did find a utility for Firefox but it consumed enormous amounts of my poor old pc's resources (6 years old, XP sp3, P4 2.4 gigs, 3 gig of ram), the cpu was running full tilt constantly and things were getting a bit warm. As a consequence the player was jerky as hell and anyway I ended up uninstalling it because it conflicted with one of my P2P programs Sooo, it's a new toy but not very useful. Ah well, at least I didn't need to build a 10 foot satellite dish...
