Nick yourself a connection to a UK proxy from here and watch the game wherever you are in the world:

Your browser has somewhere a place that asks for proxies. Usually its given as your ISP's proxy server or set "direct connection".

What you do at present is you go from your computer to the ISP's computer to the BBC so if you are kolumbus.fi they go na-na-na - now if you put an UK proxy in you are going from your computer to the ISP computer to some odd wank.co.uk port 8080 to the BBC so the BBC site sees you as a w4#73r from the UK...

I have Internet explorer as my browser, but I can't find where the place asking for proxies is. I see the option "use HTTP1.1 through proxy connections" but I don't know what this means or see a way to put one of the new codes in. Sorry, I'm pretty ignorant with computers.

Thanks, I will try this to listen to the mighty clash between West Brom and Southampton on Tuesday.
