The quality of the HD stream from NBC is excellent. Wondering if UK fans can access these streams if they fake an ip address to give a US location instead of a UK location. I have done it the other way round to watch BBC Match of the Day. I use Expat Shield, i.e. I am located in the US but get myself a fake UK ip address.
http://atdee.net/39088/watch-bbc-1 you can watch BBC1 in US on this, cos I do it in Texas MOTD is on at 10:20 pm tonight UK time - thats about 5:20pm.. depending on time zone
I use an extension for Google Chrome called Media Hint (On Chromium actually, but its a Chrome extension). It does all the proxy **** seamlessly with no obvious slowdown for all US sites as far as I can tell. Like 20 seconds to install, then forget about it forever. It's a darned sight easier than cacking around with proxy servers.
