Viewing the BBC iPlayer outside of the UK - NO BROWSER PROXY

Finally figured out how to view the BBC iPlayer form outside of the UK without using a proxy. This proof of concept uses GreaseMonkey to replace the "Sorry not viewable from outside of the UK" with the actual video. It was pretty simple to figure out.

Details of how it is done can be found @ http://www.showmethetelly.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2

Also there is no audio

This is all just BS: The title of the video says "no browser proxy" ... but in the instructions you use the 'FoxyProxy' Firefox extension - to set a browser proxy for the BBC site. Just because you're not using the normal proxy setting method in Firefox doesn't mean it doesn't need a proxy.
