Subverting Space/Time... to Watch TV
Monday, March 2, 2009


Back in 2007, I posted a brief write-up on how to watch American Television on the web (...without having to be a resident of the USA) and while you can still manually use proxy servers to circumvent international (space/time?) restrictions on some major studio sites, I'd like to suggest an even easier way...

The program is called "HotSpot Shield" ... It's marketed as a security tool to help protect online privacy on public hot spots, but as it effectively obscures geographic information about your IP address, it's an ideal way to watch American TV (at your own convenience).

you can download it here...

Fairly straightforward: connect to watch your shows/disconnect for your usual browsing.

Enjoy the 8th dimen- err- I mean your TV!
