Isle of Mann TT 2012 coverage?

[flyingcrocodile46]

We cheat a little bit.

The ITV website http://www.itv.com/sport/isleofmantt/ is covering it for UK people to watch using the ITV player http://www.itv.com/ITVPlayer/?intcmp=NAV_ITVPLAYE2. but the coverage is restricted to internet users with a British IP address so I couldn't watch anything on it .

The answer is to use a proxy IP adddress (much easier than you might think). I googled "Proxy IP" and found a few youtubes explaining how to do it. This one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEcRl_buACQ is the one I watched and used (for Firefox). I searched 'Free proxy" on google and found a british IP number which I copied then pasted into the IP box (following the Youtube directions to get at the settings of my PC), then typed in the Port number (which was alongside the IP addresses on the list). Clicked ok and voila I am now on a pommy IP addy (until I reset it) and yes I can now view whatever I want using the ITV Player. For those not using firefox try scrolling the results for your "how to use a proxy IP" search until you find a result for your browser type.

Note: I experienced a big slow down on internet access to some other sites (incl KB) , but that can be fixed when you re-set your IP addy. Also note that some of you may have pre-set (rather than 'auto detect) IP number so you will need to remember that number and the assigned port number to go back to your normal internet service (if you have problems with your connection).

For those without Sky you should be able to do the same thing to watch WSBK and Moto GP on the internet. Possibly on sites other than the British ITV site. Just have to pick a different IP number that is for the same region as that of the web site showing the content you want to view.
Wooooohoooooo Looking forward to watching the IOM racing for the first time.

Just a note about the above, don't go doing anything too important like your online banking etc while using a free open proxy.

Since all your traffic is routed via the proxy address, it isn't exactly secure but that isn't a worry for watching IOM etc.

awesome man, worked for me, but the ips I found were soo slow aye that itv wasn't really working, took too long to load? ideas? I tried a few diff free ips out. all seemed pretty slow.

also, incase I do get it working, is there coverage on now with practice week? I saw the links and stuff on itv but havent managed to load up the channel yet - not sure if im missing out on footage of practice week etc or not.
just been keepin up on the iomtt website, keeps ya fairly up to date but no video

[Swoop]

The only thing we will hear is if there is a death!

If there is a game of thugby somewhere, you won't even get that.

I looked at the ITV site using this link http://www.itv.com/sport/isleofmantt/ and saw the 'watch the ITV4 coverage' link under the side car http://www.itv.com/itv4 and it opened the player page with the message Please enter your email address to watch the French Open live Sign up and we'll email you the latest ITV Sport news and offers . So I did the google "free proxy list" search and used one of the first results http://www.freeproxylists.net/ or scrolled down looking for the british flag (NOTE check the speed/connection and/or response/transfer ratings on the right side columns for a good connection speed) and selected one on the third page 77.73.3.32 port # 3128 which had an 'uptime' score of 89% and decent response/transfer rating (though it did appear that there weren't as many options for the UK this time, so there may be an element of luck on the day). On the ITV page I selected Sport then Super bikes and watched the MCE BSB Oulton Park International 5-7 May: Oulton Park International Only watched a few minutes worth and had to wait a while for it to stream when I jumped forward into the race but she was faultless full screen after that.

As I said, it may be a matter of luck on the day, but check the transfer/speed ratings of the proxy (Started this response using auto proxy and finished using the UK IP) No probs.

[flyingcrocodile46]

Just went back to auto proxy and now cant open the BSB race video. Comes up with the message 'sorry video only available in the UK yada yada.

Forgot to add (as earlier poster pointed out)... don't use your passwords or do electronic money transfers credit card purchases etc on these proxy IP's... they are not secure

Jesus what a mission! Think I'll just buy the DVD.

I phoned Sky and the reason they won't screen the TT is simply they don't have the rights. A friend who lives in Sydney watches it live on Foxtel. Bugger!

Don't worry. It only takes a tenth of the time to it took to write it. In fact once you know how to do it it's a 30 to 60 second operation.

[24xtreme]

Just go here on the day of the race and there will be a stream.

tunlr.net is the best for me. i have a VM setup which is proxied, so that my regular internetting doesnt get affected.

[Dave-]

Fuck sky, get a proxy.

[Captain_Salty]

I've seen torrents for preview and qualifying but no races yet. Anyone got a source other than piratebay or demonoid for the ITV highlights shows or are they just slow getting out?
