Unfortunately it's region restricted in Japan. I wonder why because I've never had trouble watching stuff on PBS before. Maybe NHK bought the rights.

Comedy Central has recently restricted viewing from Japan too.

Do you get an explicit "frack you, wrong country" or just video not playing ? Because region restriction are always explicit...

Maybe you should change ISP's... I don't think TDS allows internet access from the DPRK.

I dropped Plala as my ISP, and suddenly Comedy Central vids are ok, Youtube issues that have been plaguing me for years (and getting worse year by year) have disappeared, and page loads definitely seem faster (without using Google public dns, which I had to resort to before to get anything resembling reasonable times).

Cool... but weird on plala's part...
