They only allow yanks to view them, but if you connect with a U.S proxy it works, I used this one 192.104.67.250 with port 8080 and it worked fine.

What do you think?

Pretty decent, but the lack of full screen (not to mention 'archiving') means the 'alternative' is still the better option. Incidentally, you only need the proxy for the initial launch screen - after that you can turn the proxy off and use your regular IP for the actual viewing. Think these appear quicker than the alternatives too (by a few hours), but it's as easy to wait for a download.
