Watching Olympics without cable or dish

[roberb7]

I discovered that at http://olympics.cbc.ca/online-listing/grid.html , it's possible to watch the Winter Olympics in the way that it should be possible to watch them. You get a choice of live coverage on several channels, AND if you missed an event, you can just click on the event, and view it start to finish.

However, this service is only supposed to be available in Canada. I had a VPN (or proxy server) already, but it only has servers within the US. So, I did some net surfing, and came up with https://www.boxpn.com/
It costs less than the service I was using before, and they have VPN servers in several US and Canadian cities (the CBC now thinks I live in Toronto), and 15 other countries.

It was pretty easy to install, and I was watching an ice hockey game between Latvia and Switzerland just before I started typing this.

When I get a chance, I'll check to see which movies Netflix makes available to viewers in the UK.
