Watch US tv channels in Spain - 11/04/12 04:04 PM

Hi guys!
I havent found any post on this topic so I have decided to open one. I live in Madrid and I would like to have US channels at home. Can somebody help me on that? Do you know any software for pc to watch tv online? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!!

Try the network websites, CBS.com, NBC.com etc. I use hulu and netflix when I am vacationing in Madrid but you have to use a VPN (virtual private network). You can purchase them for $8-$10/month.

Hulu's the best choice. You can also get the Firefox add-on called "anonymoX" which is essentially a VPN - and it's free, but tends to be sluggish sometimes. It disguises your location as being in the USA (or wherever). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/anonymox/ This is what I use to watch Hulu programs or some YouTube videos from Spain.

If you're looking for sporting events, you can find many of them at the following:

For these, you sometimes need a piece of viewing software installed in order to view them, but many are simply website based.
