Re: DuckFeet's recent post: For anyone not living in the UK, you CAN watch that Panorama link and any UK TV programmes with Expat Shield...

Expat Shield is a computer programme that masks the computer's IP address. We live in Austria and were able to watch the whole of the Olympics on BBC and Ch4 by activating the 'shield' and going to the relevant channel's 'iPlayers'. Not strictly running related, I know but if anyone feels frustrated at not being able to go to The link DuckFeet gave us then download Expat Shield and when you want to watch something from the UK just activate it - it's brilliant and allows us to keep up with anything going on on UK TV - hope this helps, Cheers Sara

but I couldn't see the panorama program with the i player

[psarapsych Graduate in reply to DeliaItaly]

Delia, best to launch expat shield and then go to beeb website and then i player and find the programme rather than using the link. See if that works... Fingers crossed xox

Okey dokey -- funny I could see eastenders though!

[psarapsych Graduate]

Hmmmm.... I guess it depends how old the Panorama link is... I think programmes are only available for a week on iPlayer... I'll check with Mat and ask him to look at it - he's very TV/Computer savvy. He has the computer connected to the TV so we can watch whatever on a proper screen. It could just be that the programme's more than a week old. Will check for you Delia :-). Really pleased you got to see Eastenders :-). There's something rather comforting about being able to check in with UK TV now and then.
