I see they have it on www.hulu.com intenet tv.

The only problem is that hulu only lets you watch online television in the US (or US ip address). :no:

Sometimes you have to open another browser window.. just keep the little "icon" green and then go to the site you wish to connect too.. it may take one or two tries but I get Netflix ok, I'm mac, and just checked and I can get Hulu..

Good luck and it's free, doesn't get much better than that..:):)

The "Res" that was being used in the one last night is the one which my wife's relatives live

We had always asked why don't you use the Native Americans ..... well, for once it looks like the Government got smart...

They are as good as they looked..

Do you have to disable Windows firewalls like you do when using Norton? Any conflicts with Norton or other anti-virus programs?

Sorry I am not commenting on Border Wars, but my Comcast package does not include National Geographic channel, so I couldn't watch it.

Have Norton on my Mac. but, once you get behind the "blocking" your home free, for now... enjoy the additional viewing of many more programs

Someone here on the Nomads provided the link in a previous post... download installed and have been using since then, back in October
:):)

Sorry, no conflicts.. and no changes to System Preferences (fire wall or others) thus far

No need to be "sorry" for reporting "no conflicts"....that's a good thing! :yes:

Just to be clear though, what do you mean by "blocking" if you are not talking about firewalls? What is "blocking"?

Aren't there any more reports or critiques on The Border Wars feature?" I am interested in your opinions.

"Cops" on the Border


Entertaining. Probably Informative to those who don't pay much attention to the border stories. A balance of stories to make the Border Enforcement personnel look good.

Tonight is another NEW episode premiering the program in its Weekly Monday Night slot.

the sorry was that I didn't answer you first question about "conflicts" had to go back and edit

As to blocking, if one's IP is visible to the "party" who wishes to prevent you from "seeing a program" as your IP is telling them your in Mexico.. this program puts up another IP which blocks restricting party from seeing where you are located, therefor the "program/code' at the other end can't preform it's intended function.. block you from getting Netflix while in Mexico or many of program's which are intended for use "within " the United States ONLY..

Give it a try, if you have any troubles you should be able to remove.. with little trouble

Hope that makes sense

Might add, I'm not a rep for them... if you want to insure that you will have no problems "look them up" and give them test on the use for your computer, just to be on the safe side... I fully understand you caution... really!!!:):)

Still a newbie to Baja, still trying to learn and find out about Baja.

I wish they would stop making such a big deal about the 'border wars', it stops many people who would like to visit Mexico from traveling through those areas to find the beauty of Baja (or the mainland). Just returned from the US and we hadn't been there 5 mins when gunfire errupted from about 2 blocks away, couldn't wait to get back. Once you're past the border areas the country is amazing.

For those of you who get 'blocked' from watching on the net try downloading 'ultra surf', seems to work for Justin.tv and CBS, haven't tried all the others yet, still trying it out. I notice it affects downloads so unless you really need to 'block' your location for some sites I don't always turn it on. Just use your search & type in ultra surf, then download (save) the program, if you don't save it you have trouble re-using without downloading it again, at least I did.

Biggest issue I have is with the title. Sure "war" is catchy. But as a society, we have really overdone it by using the word in connection with so many programs and activities. In a certain respect, the overuse of the word war diminishes its impact.

At War


Watching the episodes, it sure looks like a War to me.

Now, the "War on Poverty" may have been a bit of a stretch, but THAT was sure popular with the Left.

Guess it's a matter of whose war it is.

Sorry a bit slow here. I have Netflix and tried to do a "watch instantly on pc" while in BCS. Netflix blocked it saying they only support United states.

So what exactly do I have to do to block my ISP?

Thanks!

The World at War


Greta Van Susteren did a promo for her show on Three "Worrisome" areas for the U.S.

North Korea, Iran, Mexico.

Didn't watch it, but THAT is funny. At least, they're in good company.

I think the greatest threat to the US is the US itself.
