Radio Times! Is there an App for that?

Yes its quite technical and involves the following

1. Going to the shop to buy it (well usually don't make a special trip)

2. Return home

3. Make cuppa

4. Sit on sofa, drinking said cuppa, reading said document then using highlighter pen to highlight interesting programmes and set pvr at same time.

Simples !

Sounds a bit complex to me. Then again, I'm only a girl, so all I know about is embroidery and kittens

So when the attacking team makes a forward pass there must be at least two opposition players (which usually includes the goalkeeper) between the player that runs to the ball and the goal.
OK - if one kitten has a ball of wool and wants to give it another kitten then ...................

But surely no kitten ever wants to give up control of the ball, oops wool???

I'm sorry I am a man and only understand sports, beer and pornography.

And for the uninitiated

Just came across this on Channel 5 just now - seems a good series (6 episodes in total - 1st one is on now (8pm, 8th Feb) )

Seems really recent too as they're covering the snow crisis.

Just thought it might be of interest to some here.

Two topics about same programme merged to avoid confusion.

Great show so far, it's more of how the airport runs than the airline which is good and I have enjoyed it so far. Anyone else?

Missed the first episode, but enjoyed this weeks episode, it appeals to the aviation geek in me.

It's not an equal to BBC's Airport but good to watch. Hopefully it won't produce another Jeremy Spake or that awful BAA duty manager, Michelle.

I missed last Tuesday's episode for several reasons. One is that Channel Five is an add-on channel for me since I'm not living in the UK and so therefore I can't set a reminder of for it to record and another is that Five is not in the listings for television over here probably for the same reason.

Finally, none of my VF friends reminded me on Facebook v(

Should be able to watch it on here?

No I can't. I live in Ireland and therefore debarred from catching up with anything on iPlayer or its equivalent on UK channels v(

My only option is if it is shown on one of our channels - the most likely being TV3 and I was pleasantly surprised at being able to do this in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago y)

There is a way
StrongVPN y)
For $55 a year, you get virtual locations in 4 cities - can be US & UK - effectively very few websites can detect that you are not in that country. You simply click on an icon and all your "calls" are rerouted through their servers in the selected country. Speed is excellent - you don't normally notice any difference at all.

Allows you to watch US TV channels in the UK & vice versa.

Would certainly work from Honey Lamb land.

Security is excellent too - one of the main uses is in countries that restrict or control internet access.

Does that site also allow you to view US sites that otherwise can't be viewed in the UK? Music sites, I'm thinking....

Do you use this? Anyone else here use a VPN (why am I asking, bound to be a lot of you who know their way round it!)

As an example some screenshots:
Without VPN :#



With VPN (Miami) active: y)

I use a VPN to watch UK TV online (iPlayer, ITV, Five, etc) from the States.

I use this one: http://www.ukivpn.com/ The site looks unprofessional, but the people who run it are top notch. I've had it for 2 years and no complaints!
