Try using a U.S. proxy -- something I've done in the past on Innertube and with the ABC online content.

[thebruce]

may you please expound?

[catherwood]

for "proxy".




Anonymizers that hide your computer's IP address -- proxies are a way to make your computer appear to be in another geolocation, such as surfing from the United States instead of within Canada. ABC and other media outlets often are required to deliver content only to U.S. computers -- don't ask me why. Sports broadcasts need to do the same thing, for FIFA World Cup preliminaries shown only within Brazil, or Major League Baseball needing to restrict access from blacked-out cities, for example. The trick is to find a proxy that (a) is within the region that can access your event, and (b) lets you use it, either for free or limited membership. And no, I have no idea how to do any of this myself.

yeah, I know what a proxy is I meant how do you use a proxy to access a website? But it seems you answered that as well... you don't know either

I had a glimmer of hope based on the first episode, but if the second episode is any indication of what is to come, this show isn't going to see November. The constant reminder of "The Stand" is deterring from my enjoyment slightly, but I recognize that they've said they are going to focus on the characters and not the search. But...

Looks like I'm in the minority - I like the show. It's not GREAT, but it's entertaining enough for a lead in to watching Lost right after... But then I've always been a fan of Skeet, and it's also funny watching them stumble over their Kansas references...

Exactly - It's not possible. That would mean that "Jericho" is about where Limon, COLORADO is - which is about an hour and a half west of Goodland, which is the last "major" (term used very loosley) Kansas town before you hit the Colorado border. Not to mention that Goodland is about 300 miles east of Wichita, and Topeka about an hour and a half northeast of that.

That being said (and that the drive from Wichita to Denver is quite possibly the most boring drive in the world), I can suspend reality for the sake of entertainment and watch Jericho.

You're right Lovek - I doubt it's back after this season, IF it makes it all of the way through.

[Lovek]

Right, I won't let those inconsistencies bother me, but they were a little annoying. We'll just let them go...

And yes, believe it or not I've done the Wichita to Denver trip more than once, and was kind of hoping for a nuclear blast about half way through. You know, just to have something to look at.

Sorry, this show jumped the shark for me when they flipped Dolby Noise Reduction switches to hear obscured background radio chatter as clear as day on a tape they got out of an airliner's black box.

You'd think a show about nuclear war in the US would be at least a LITTLE bit concerned about accuracy and integrity of plot points, especially where technology is concerned.
