Perfect for us Brits in the US and for American political junkies. <br /><br />All the details are in this blog on Huffington Post. http://tinyurl.com/38hyy2wAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637802895814137825.post-23002431316865036582010-05-03T14:48:31.978-04:002010-05-03T14:48:31.978-04:00Hi Mark,
If you have the BBC World News channel, ...Hi Mark,<br /><br />If you have the BBC World News channel, the schedules on their website show that they are picking up the coverage with Dimbleby from 4:45 pm Thursday. My program guide on my cable system still doesn't show it yet, however.<br /><br />http://www.bbcworldnews.com/Pages/Schedules.aspx?<br /><br />I also have found an online stream of BBC News that is not blocked for American IP addresses. Feel free to email me at rossoneri.ross@gmail.com for that link (I'm wary of giving out a link that could get shut down in the comments).Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871628478250048588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637802895814137825.post-27911071338559049252010-05-02T23:42:39.284-04:002010-05-02T23:42:39.284-04:00Thanks; yes, it is tough.

Thanks at least for your work looking to find a way to watch election night... <br /><br />Do you know of any ways to get around the block on iPlayer? You mentioned access to a good VPN... I'm wondering whether I should start looking for proxy servers.Nickname unavailablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017861359976238927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637802895814137825.post-86078975130382626292010-05-01T19:10:21.384-04:002010-05-01T19:10:21.384-04:00Yes, a bit of a worry at this point. On the strea...Yes, a bit of a worry at this point. On the streaming, Ian, I *think* BBC News might stream live without the lock-down to international users. They certainly did this for the third election debate, so that is a good sign. Otherwise, it might have to be illegitimate ways of grabbing the content.<br /><br />I am still hopeful that C-SPAN might come up trumps.

I have just moved to the USA, and was also looking forward to being 5 hours behind and having a fun evening of election-watching.<br /><br />I even thought some of the bars here in Philadelphia might be covering it.<br /><br />But it seems the Americans aren't nearly as interested in our politics as we are in theirs. Please keep this post updated if you have any ideas. I can't even seem to find a good site to stream the BBC News coverage over the internet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637802895814137825.post-34853575795958962432010-05-01T15:42:49.689-04:002010-05-01T15:42:49.689-04:00I have the same problem!

Is is a case of trying to avoid the geographical blocking on Iplayer or is there a more legitimate way of doing it?IanSudberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857589169905959966noreply@blogger.com
