Sports - Guide: Stream every Olympic game via BBC for $2 (1 Viewer)

[Redbot]

The Olympics are on and I've been able to stream every single game, from archery to weightlifting - (live and past events) - on my 2nd monitor while working on RedGuides. I'd like to share my method.


1) Purchase a nice, fast UK proxy for $2
http://www.anonymous-proxies.net/
20% coupon code: 20bhwoff

2) Tell your browser to use the proxy.
firefox:

chrome:

ie:

safari:

3) Go to this site and select the olympic event you'd like to watch.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/schedule-results

Enjoy. No more crappy NBC coverage.

I have an alternate version of this.

Basically, move to the uk to be over-taxed, underpaid, watch the financial crisis bugger up inflation, quantative easing, low interest rates for savers, no equity in properties bought five years ago, pay 130£ a year fora tv licence.

Watch BBC.

Try to watch any other us show and get blocked. Download hbo shows from eztv.it. Get bandwidth reduced by ISP.

Yay

I tried but it says the minimum # of proxy's to purchase if 4 so would cost more like 8. Unless you wanna let me borrow your proxy
