Yes there is if you are using a browser that uses proxy servers, such as Puffin.

Swagbucks (and most PTC sites like this) strictly forbid the use of Proxy servers.

I don't think so, I use either the Samsung android browser or google chrome. My wifi (at home and at work) also isn't set up to support proxy servers.

I might risk it for a while and see what happens, SB is becoming so difficult to make anything from, so I doubt I'd miss it if I got banned anyway.

just got an email from SB about encrave

Currently, there is only a finite amount of videos for our members to consume from the providers. This amount varies from day to day. Once the content is depleted at any given time, you may experience a message showing "More content coming soon!" This will help direct you to other earning opportunities on Swagbucks.com, such as, SBTV. Please know, this is not a cap on your earnings, it is strictly based on the content available at the time you begin the activities. Some days there will be more than others, and it is possible that some days there will be none. Please refresh your Encrave page throughout the day to see if this amount is replenished. It's in both ours, and your best interest, to get more content available for you to discover, and know with confidence that we are working hard with content providers to deliver more as soon as possible.

@ Lost2 - That's interesting. Still making my SB productivity drop alarmingly though! Fingers crossed for more content soon.

Those don't support flash.
If you use an android browser and try to access flash content (such as SBTV) on Swagbucks you will see the following error message.

Error loading Player
No playable sources found

In order to get past this, you would have to use a proxy server. You don't need to be "set up to support proxy servers", you can just use a browser that uses one, and they use them usually without your knowledge. Nothing needs to be "set up" or changed with your wifi.
The Puffin browser is one such browser but there are many more.

So have been doing it since 8-15 ish, i have 6 team points and leader has 1349 points. Good to see what SBUK thinks of us over here.
