World Superbike

[TRON]

Browsing through the other forums I frequent, I found www.worldsbk.com (http://www.worldsbk.com) where you can watch superpole, races, and other videos live or on demand on your PC. The catch is it is free and available to everyone in the world except those of us who live here in the U.S.A. The way around this is to set up your computer to use a proxy server outside of the U.S. It is fairly simple and is really cool to watch without comercial interuption, and I would like to share this info.

Here is what you do:
1. Go to this website to get a proxy address.
http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html

On you computer:
2. Open Control Panel->Internet Options.
3. Click the Connections Tab.
4. Click the Lan Settings button
5. Check the Use Proxy Server option
6. From the proxy4free web page, choose a server address and port to use.
7. Go to worldsbk.com and start watching the videos. Enjoy!

Just to note, it make take a few tries with different proxy servers before it starts to work. It took me about 4-5 attempts, but once you get it working, you can watch all the races live before it is broadcast on the Speed Channel.

To undo the proxy changes, just uncheck the Use Proxy Server option and your computer will go back to the original internet settings.

Thanks!! I've been to that site a dozen times and I always get pissed off because of the ban on US video streaming. I'll be using this for sure!:thumbup:

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!:bow:

But, I can now watch the video's but can't open any other sites for some reason, is that normal. In order for me to ask this question I had to change the "proxy" back to where I had it. Do I need to do that everytime. This ofcourse is a small price to pay, just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Please go slow with me:smilewink

Hey Silverbullet,
I'm not really an expert, but like how wsbk videos cannot be viewed in the USA, certain websites cannot be viewed in certain countries. That's why I included the undo instructions...


To all,
You're welcome. I was able to watch Superpole for the first time and thought is was really cool. Just had to share and now we don't have to wait for the broadcast on Speed. Now if I can only find the free option for MotoGP and the AMA races...
