Hey all,

As some of you regular guys know, I'm in Australia at the moment. Anyway, my footie team are playing in the cup final today, but midnight my time. I want to listen to the match as it's being streamed on the BBC website.

However, when I try and listen to matches it says I can't because I am not in the UK. I'm guessing they use my IP address to locate me. So, as you can probably tell, my question is: can I change my IP address so it thinks I'm in the UK and I can listen to the football?

Thanks.

Bodhi

Skype at your end, Skype a pc and microphone and tv at your english mates house. Problem solved. ;)
