I was browsing around the "Brothers & Sisters" TV show website and noticed that it said that you could watch episodes online, so I clicked on, only to get a message saying that only people in the USA could watch shows online. Sorry if I am being extrememly thick (I can't help it..) but is there any way to get around this and be able to view them?

    You could try a proxy that randomizes your location or sets your location to another place. IP addresses are tracka ble yours is in the UK you need a proxy that is based in the US for it to work.

    There are other non legal solutions to this. ;)

    If it ever gets here, loads of things never get to terrestrial tv so bending the rules is the only way to see them.

    It'll get here, Channel4 have the terristrial rights, have already shown series 1 and series 2 will be shown next year, earlier if you have E4.

    No need to go the illegal route
