    Loads of lists available but will be almost impossible to find a working Irish proxy no matter how many sites you look at.

    are proxy's not legally frowned upon, especially in such cases as circumventing broadcasting rights?

    I mean if not, sure, lets all just get proxies and start watching TV on Hulu.com but whatever.

    Sounds like you're the only person not doing so :)

    I pay €35 per year for a proxy service (UK and USA) which allows me to watch TV online and save me from the hell that is French television.
