Sky One

Please help!

OH and I are big fans of the Series 'Lost', which until a few weeks ago was on Channel 4.
But now Sky One have bought the rights to screen the next 2 series, and we ditched our Sky conract a year ago (and got a freebie box)

Do we bite the bullet and re-sign to Sky (an expensive option, but we're not prepared to wait for the DVD to come out!), or is there another way? People in the US can watch the programme online straight after it has been shown here, but I can't seem to access this.

Thanks in advance

Lesley

    try looking at bit torrant sites. you might be able to watch season 3 by downloading the episodes (obviously check that its legal).

    That was going to be my advise as well :beer:
    The trouble with work is that it interferes with living
  • You are able to watch online on the abc website but only if you live in America. However, if you use an American proxy server, the site IDs you as living in America so you will be able to watch it.

    Also, try to make sure the proxy isn't too slow. You need a download rate of more than 700k/s for it to work
  • How do I find/gain access to a US proxy server??

  • Well perhaps we might now get to watch it in HD as it was originally meangt to shown! Can't wait!
