With expatshield can you switch back and forth easily between US and UK addresses? I assume you have to be fish or fowl! Would there be any bad things happening to the pc if one goes to UK address temporarily?
Very interesting program - necessity is a mother, for sure.
Thanks for the info. Merry Christmas.

With ExpatShield you get some advertising whilst its running. But there is an icon on the task bar so that you can click it 'on' to watch iPlayer, then 'off' to do normal browsing and watching other t.v. stations. Try it and see.

Yes, I agree, having folk music on BBC television, even if it is BBC4 and not one of the main channels, is great.

Did anyone spot a young Peter Bellamy in the audience of the Al Stewart clip?
