Technology / Proxy to watch BBC?
July 11, 2014, 11:47:22 AM
I'm running Chrome on my laptop, and I want to use a proxy to watch BBC shows, free preferably. I could use CoverMyAss.com but it requires a subscription which I'd like to avoid. Here's my problem: I can look up proxies and get a sock5 or sock4 if available but Chrome is giving me a hard time.

I downloaded switchy proxy and ran it, got a proxy, plugged it in and ... nothing. All the online advice said to go to Settings and change th e proxy setting by putting in an address. But, Chrome doesn't allow me to do that unless I uninstall switchy proxy. And if I do that, I'm unclear which address to put in there - the particular sock5 address  I found, or something else? And then reinstall switchy proxy?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped b/c this isn't working for me as advertised.

There are films we all remember partly because of the brilliant soundtracks or scores. I have a lot of favorites, #1 being the score for 'Lord of the Rings' which is breathtakingly perfect in that it tells the story alongside the narrative. I think the film owes a great deal of it's emotional resonance on the score.

My other favorite is the score from 'Witness'. This is an excerpt from the barn raising scene where John Book, the detective, works with the Amish community he's hiding out in to raise a barn. The score is by Maurice Jarre who used synthesizers to tell the story of a culture without any modern conveniences, a, inspired use of modern instrumentation.

'Gladiator' is another film where the music is outstanding and even surprising in capturing the mood of the battle scenes and the death of Russel Crowe's character and his reunion with his wife and son in Elysium. Music by Hans Zimmer (I'm a big fan), Lisa Gerrard, Klaus Badelt.


Gladiator Soundtrack "Elysium", "Honor Him", "Now We Are Free"
