Thanks to all - I went with Business Casual - suit and open necked shirt. It was the right choice.

Us too, felt it was right for us, our Australian mates who came said they were glad we'd made an effort and the pics looked good too.

Just a quick update, rather than a proxy I'm now using Unblock US which simply needs you to change the DNS on the device you're watching TV through, I have it working on laptops, PS3 and Apple TV, it works for loads of TV sites in the US and UK, even NetFlicks in the US (haven't tried this though), you can sign up for a 1 week free trial then its $4.99 CAD pm, a whole $1 cheaper than my old proxy.

Setting up involves changing one setting (DNS address) on the device in question, in my setup I run my own DNS on Linux and just set the Unblock US IP as the first forwarder.

I dont know if this is still an active post but I am struggling to understand.

 

I have set up the paid hidemyip can watch bbc iplayer on the computer now but how do I get the PS3 to play

 

I am on a PC and right now I really am not sure how all this transparent proxy stuff works, do i have to run my computer to run the iplayer in the PS3?

 

anyone that has done this using a PC your help will be much appriciated, I am also runing through a cable for the iplayer on my computer as dont have wireless modem

 

many thanks in advance

This guy has done something similar but on a PC - Carl Tyler's Blog :: Watching BBC iPlayer shows in the US on your PS3

He's using a proxy called ccproxy, if you use that on the PC everything else from the OP should work, and yes you will need the PC on and the proxy running while watching iPlayer.
