That's why you would pay for it. To get support and instructions. Using a free proxy server is a good idea for watching TV or listening to streaming audio, but you don't want to use it for anything that you send sensitive data to or from. While I'm sure most proxy servers are ok, there could be one that monitors what you do looking for credit card numbers, etc. Free ones more likely than pay ones. There are also other options if they still exist. One was a company that would put a slingbox in their data center and dedicate it to you. You used the regular slingbox viewer on your computer. It was not cheap, around a UKP a day, with discounts if you bought an entire year at one time. Another was a company in Gibralter which was the far end of the spot beam of the UK satellites. They were able to receive FTA (free to the air) the BBC, ITV, etc. They streamed the signals to you and you paid them for the bandwidth. It was legal in Gibralter, it may not be legal where you are, and they may or may not still be in business. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
