I`ve been using ExpatShield since last November and the server has gone down a couple of times, taking a few days to get fixed each time, but the application itself works very well, giving you access to many streaming providers in the UK eg http://www.blinkbox.com/ http://video.uk.msn.com/browse/tv-shows/genres http://www.youtube.com/4OD as well as ITV and BBC players. And this international BBC IPlayer that has been announced will only ever be a severely diluted version of the UK one, it`s only been trialled on ipads and that isn`t till later this year. So don`t hold your breath necessarily if you actually hoped to catch a particular programme this decade .... or just watch it for free on ExpatShield* [;-)]*other free UK VPNs are available, but this seems to be the best, if you set it up correctly.

You have the correct, latest version of expatshield installed [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossy67 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I have just downloaded Expat Shield and enjoyed a British program, fantastic and thanks a lot for the link.One small problem though. I now have a bar across the top of my screen, between the normal tool bars and the page I want to look at. It's filled with adverts and very annoying, I can close it but every time I open a new page it's back there again. Any ideas how to get rid of it?Doh, stupid boy. I just turned the expat shield off and the advert has gone. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 If you want, you can uninstall the program then reinstall it. But this time, at the beginning, untick the "include Expat shield community toolbar" option, click on custom installation - instead of the big install button - and unselect all the toolbars, addons options.Then as said before, if you use Firefox browser with the Adblock Plus add on you will get no adverts at all.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
