Theaterkanal

Since I don't trust any German telecom provider to
not screw things up either (been there, done that),
I went for the easy way and installed Zattoo.
Bauerfeind is enough to trick me into that CLIP
geo-limiting anti-internet spy-ware stuff (This is
Germany, they probably like to find out if you
watch to much Al-Jazeera). So now I'm watching
Elizabeth Taylor and that guy from NCIS on my
iBook, which I'll hook up to my Bravia after this
post to see how that displays. And when I'm back in
the old country it magically doesn't work there,
and for the same reason there won't be a convenient
Playstation 3 version of Zattoo. Internet, Europe,
some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate
uphill, and the others just torrent...

Update: Well, it works, I can watch Theaterkanal,
CNN and The Poker Channel, but the Zattoo app is a
piece of crap and crashes about every 15 minutes,
which makes it all pretty useless. Like I didn't
expect that.
