anyone here use Hola to watch shows in other countries?

When you connect to it makes it look like your address in in whatever country you choose (I don't know how to explain this well) for instance I can connect to the UK and it makes my computer address appear to come from the UK, so I can watch shows on the BBC iPlayer (which, if you are in the US you cannot watch). I've been watching great music shows that they have on BBC 4 on Friday nights, I've been watching the Great British Bakeoff, documentaries..... but you can watch ANYTHING in many different countries. Check it out.

Moved back to Canada from Seattle a couple years ago, and have found certain sites/videos blocked. Having recently discovered Hola, I can now return to my regularly scheduled programming!

I'm going to give it a try. I am a bit skeptical. I downloaded another one similar to this and after a couple of weeks it required a subscription. I'm in South Korea, so sometimes i have a hard time with US sites.
