Russethouse Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My friend in the USA is really annoyed and disapointed - she used to watch France 2 news with subtitles via her cable provider, then it was dropped, but she could watch it via the internet with a tiny picture - now she says 'They're blocking any countries that aren't active members of the European Broadcasting Union'Is there a work round for her or is that it - no access ?[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Perhaps if she uses a proxy server it may work. But it would have to be a server based in Europe. I've never had success with using a proxy before, but had given up quite quickly.Honestly, these tv companies make it so difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS19 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The block of France2 is indeed very annoying and I've yet to find a proxy that will work. Meanwhile, you'll find several good local news feeds here:http://fr.wwitv.com/Just select France from the left menu and pick from the list that follows. If you find a proxy for France2 and 3, please post.Good luck![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just had an email from my American friend saying : En raison des droits TV très stricts concernant les images des Jeux Olympiques, les journaux télévisés de France 2 et France 3 sur nos sites ne sont plus accessibles hors Europe (UER) durant la période des JO. So, it looks as if France 2 and France 3 may return after the Olympics are over. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
