 |

Fellow expats, how can I watch the 2012 Games here in Korea online? It won't be live but I'd love to see full replays of games like the soccer matches, like last night's USA v France game. The YouTube channel says the uploader doesn't work in Korea so I can't do it the way I thought I could  Thanks! |

| Download expat shield, it gives you an UK ip address. Then go to the BBC website and watch anything you want on there. |

@Benjamino: does the BBC archive the events for all the teams? I went to the website now and couldn't find much in the way of archived content, only some references to an online video player.
@ricochet: thanks for those links but those seem to be live streaming, which would be fine except the time difference makes it so that most games are being held in the 2am-4am range.
What I need is some way to watch the games after they've been played, which is what YouTube would have let me do except the "uploader" doesn't work here in Korea! |

| You can only watch the content on the bbc website if you are in the uk or are using a proxy or VPN to make the bbc website think you are in the uk. I have used some VPN services but to get them to work well you need a fast Internet connection |

Hey people if you're tired of only watching archery, table-tennis and twae-kwondo (no offence intended Korean friends  ) check out this link and follow the instructions. I have Vista on my pc and it works great. I watched two bvb women's matches this evening and they have 12 different streams showcasing different sports. I even caught the end of the Korea vs. Switzerland match. Dae Han Min Gook!!!
