Re: Mission impossible - BBC iPlayer on PS3?

I witnessed the pure awesomness of iplayer on my PS3 when I tried it out in the UK. Now that I'm back in Switzerland its obviously disabled as it recognises a Swiss IP address.

The question for the network techies is, how can I get it working here using a UK proxy? Is this something that has to be done at the router level, and will using a UK proxy slow down my general surfing, or can I specifiy that the PS3 connects via a UK proxy but my desktop connect using the standard cablecom IP?

Cheers

My own experiences of using a free proxy server in the UK is that they are slow and unreliable. You can get better service from a paid proxy... Assuming of course a PS3 can handle proxy settings , else you may have to VPN to a friend or relatives router in the UK...
