[kwlug-disc] Streaming Media Player for Web TV

[Colin Mackay]

Well, I was more meaning to plug the TV into an antenna just to watch some
local programming, but never mind. :)

One other thing I forgot to mention, is 'unblockus.com'.  It's $4.99/month
and allows you to stream certain content from US, UK and some other
countries; however it's not a typical VPN.  They get you to use their DNS,
and I am assuming have their system answer with their own IP, then forward
you through their system to get the content.  No idea if this has any less
chance of being blocked, but they have a 1 week free trial, no CC required
for the trial.

It's another way to get some internet TV, if you want some foreign content.
