Or you could sign up at https://www.privateinternetaccess.com https://www.privateinternetaccess.com for our VPN with two UK gateways for 6.95 for one month. Cheaper and much easier to setup. And from what I remember flash does not follow the system SOCKS proxy settings: http://coderrr.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/how-to-force-flash-or-any-program-to-use-a-socks-proxy-using-transocks-and-iptables-in-linux/ http://coderrr.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/how-to-force-flash-o...

For the price of a fast food lunch I decided to try it out. I appreciate the many supported protocols. The L2TP w/ IPSec VPN works just fine in OS X. The streaming quality was quite good and the online offerings from the BBC puts NBC's broadcasts to shame! I couldn't find a commercial either... is that really the case and I'm just a shellshocked American who hasn't seen the BBC in the UK before?

  That's the case - no adverts any of the bbc's television channels or radio stations in the UK. Most broadcasts are available on iPlayer too, always without adverts.

  No commercials. The BBC is funded by UK taxpayers through a license fee (about £12 per month).

    So it basically means that everyone doing this is breaching various licensing agreements

      Yes, I would love to be able to pay the BBC some amount to watch their iPlayer broadcasts of the Olympics but I'm sure NBC would never let that happen.

I'd highly recommend this option. Tried them out a couple of months ago and the service is brilliant. Multiple Exit IPs and unlimited bandwidth including torrents takes the cake.

I signed up, but the quality of the stream is really not that good. It fluctuates between 480 and sometimes hits up to 1500 for ten seconds. I never get the 3500kbps stream that I think should be available.
