    I remember a thread on here were the merits of various IP address blockers was discussed. I want to block the IP address on my Sky Box as I live abroad but want to use the Sky on demand service. I remember some people recommended some hardware that may be useful for me. to put on my sky box to hide the IP address.

    Thanks in advance

    I use Cyberghost, does the job. You can chose where the IP address is located so the on demand service you want to use thinks you're in that country and its free although you have to wait a while to connect but the paid subscription bypasses that.

    It's a VPN that you require to make it appear like you are in the UK. There are plenty of routers with VPN capability and the ASUS ones can be bought fairly cheaply and configured (if you know what you are doing)

    SOmething like this preconfigured might work for you Bob

    Living in Vienna? Whereabouts are you, mate? I lived in Heiligenstadt in the 19th district for about a year.
