I use the free ones because I'm cheap. When I looked into it though, Witopia seemed to be the most popular choice. If/when I decide to actually fork out for one, this is probably going to be it. Note that this will provide access to Hulu and similar US services (Pandora is another one that springs to mind), but doesn't currently work with BBC iplayer. Since they both use IP-based location sensing, any solution that works for one is unlikely to work for the other.

since i also cheap, mind sharing what service are you using?

I'm using one called Hotspot Shield. It adds a persistent banner to your browser window while running, but as I only have it running when I'm watching Hulu anyway (which I do through Hulu Desktop, so no browser and no banner) that doesn't really bother me.

It also adds a background process that I have to manually kill after each session. In short, the thing's a bit of a pain but as I'm still working out the kinks in my whole iptv/radio setup I'm willing to put up with it for now. Once I'm sure this is going to be something I'll use consistently I'll probably fork out the cash for a paid personal VPN service.

I signed up to PureVPN this morning at 4:30 and was up and running on their servers by noon.

I signed up for the 6 dollar shared IP option to test it.

They sent me my Login and Pass plus a US, UK, German and Canadian IP to use.

I have tested the US with Hulu and works np speeds are great so far Hi res on Hulu only buffered quick at the start reg definition no buffering at all.

I have Also Tested the UK ip with BBC Iplayer and that also works np, which is great cause I love the show TopGear. But they run truw High Def on the BBC HD channels and that one buffers more often, reg Definition is Buffer free.

Definitely worth the 6 bucks US they charged to my visa. If all goes well next month I will go with the 10 dollar a month dedicated IP which they say is faster.

Thanks for all your suggestions, but now I have to get back to the shows hehe.

P.S. I tried hotspot sheild would not work in windows 7, Also Hulu is on to them and they play the ban new IP game with them so they do not always work for Hulu from what I read on forums.

Currently have the bell phone down to 40 bucks a month about as cheap as you can get form them for basic line, only service no bundles. so Teksavvy coming in at around 25 dollars is more money saved
