Tunnelbear?

Anyone in the U.S. get that working for them? Any ill effects on your computer? Is it illegal? (I particularly need to know this because my job disallows me from running any software that is used to circumvent legalities.)

I watched "Trojan" on YouTube (Eor got scared of the title! ;)) but I'd like to be counted in the official numbers as having watched it.

Any luck buying the eps, for those in the U.S.? Are they available in no-proprietary formats for those of us who don't have iTunes?

I've used Tunnelbear, but they put limits on your viewing with the free version. I used Expat Shield to watch Trojan on Dave and it worked like a charm :)

You can also try a live stream if you are able to do that.

This does work just have it up running in the background. I used it on Saturday night to watch the replay.

Tunnelbear works on the Dave site and I do like it it because it fools the Dave site into thinking you are British. If you tweet once a month you can get 1G of Data. I have 926MB of data left But I watched Trojan a couple of times since broadcast on the Dave site. :-)

I have also heard that the Bluray (Which is released in the UK on Nov 19) is region free. I have a region free DVD playwer so I already have the Region 2 regular DVD preordered.

I hope I helped you out there. :-)

Tunnelbear is legal, but I think that using it to watch region-locked videos may be... less legal.

I got Tunnelbear to work, but I've tweeted twice (fixed the syntax) and I still haven't gotten my 1GB extra. I NEED IT. It was lovely, lovely HD watching Red Dwarf and with all the commercials at the beginning, uninterrupted viewing!
