online TV?

[RogueTango]

i just discovered I cannot watch online episodes because I am outside of the US. If I hide my IP will that help? Anyone know how?

you can set up a proxy or use sites like
www.ch131.com
and
http://www.surfthechannel.com/

There are more, but those are the ones I use. It helps if you sign up for a megavideo account.

I tried this site and a malware warning sign popped up. Have you had any trouble?

Viruses are generally not designed for Macs, but I don't want to risk getting mine infected.

Please...! I'm computer-challenged. Is this it? Is it just for TV shows, or also good for movies?
Does it access PBS shows such as Masterpiece Theatre or Nova?

Sorry Sara, I forgot to post the link, but glad to see you found it. Yes, you need to download the software, very easy, and then you connect to whichever country you want, depending on what you want to watch. I generally use it to connect to the UK and to Ireland, you simply click connect to the country that you are needing to pretend to be in, depending on what you want to watch.

It works for Hula and cbs in the US, as I have done that, as well as CMT (Don't ask!), and I am sure if PBS has a web presence, then it will work for that too.

As for Movies etc, there is always the alternative of using a Torrent download facility, such as Pirate Bay or EZTV (for TV) - This is a litle more complicated, and requires a Torrent Client (I'm probably losing you here...)... If you need help on this, PM me, and I will happily assist in getting you set up. The added bonus of Torrent downloads are that they are free (Shhh..... sort of illegal too, but I won't tell anyone!)

I also watch somethings sometimes on surf the channel. I've never had any virus or anything.

O, I should add: "that I know of"!
