Does anyone know how to watch these types of videos?

ABC and NBC have streaming video that you can watch episodes online, but you have to live in the US. Is there someway to fool the system? If proxy servers are the answer, how do I do that?

I posted this on the TV sticky, but no one reads the stickies.

Here's a fun trick.

Use Google Translate!

Go to teh website: http://translate.google.com

Then paste your URL in the "Translate a Web Page" area. Use Spanish to English translation.

I tried that to watch the Grand National 2007 race in England using the BBC News website, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

I'm sorry that it didn't work Sad It usually works for me...

Anyways, try this site:

http://proxy.org/cgi_proxies.shtml

Enter your URL at the top and then click on a U.S. proxy. If the first you try doesn't work well, try another. There are plenty to choose from. Good luck.

I've used this site http://hrmovie.com/ to watch videos on the US tv sites. But the quality of their sites isn't that great. I think it's easier to just download the episodes (most don't take much more than half an hour) with bittorrent.
