Hi Dave,

If you get it to work, let me know.... I tried the "On Demand" from 
Channel 5 in the UK & FR2 from France & both tell me "You can't watch 
that, you live in Austria" - most unfriendly. (At least my motorised 
antenna now lets me watch the 6 Nations on FR2, since they went digital!)

I guess one would have to follow the thread on changing one's IP address 
to something acceptable to the "on demand" service.

Cheers

Dave B
