Actually if you jump to about 27:50 you can catch Mike directly. Super stuff, Mike!

Hi all, I've just checked and Mike Shaw's appearance on antiques roadshow with his Pilkington Gibbs Heliochronometer and Sol Horometer is available on BBC iPlayer as follows. Google for BBC iPlayer where recent programmes are listed alphabetically. Select 'A' and then 'Antiques Roadshow' where you will have to watch the programme from the beginning. Best, Tony Moss. P.S.

Re: BBC iPlayer - Antiques Roadshow.
Online content that is blocked for certain regions can be viewed using a proxy service. There is a simple program called Tunnelbear, available at http://tunnelbear.com , that will allow you to view content that is restricted to the UK. You just download the program, turn it on and set it to UK and sites like BBC iPlayer will function. The service is free with a monthly data limit. Using proxy services is common and completely legal, and Tunnelbear is a trusted service. Using proxies may violate the terms of use of some websites, so be advised.

This control is in place specifically for copyright reasons so, to my way of thinking, in Canada use of a proxy could perhaps be contrued as an attempt to circumvent the protection measure. An analogy might be that although it's OK to posess a screwdriver, it is illegal in Canada to use that screwdriver to remove a neighbour's doorlock to get in order to use the pool while the neighbour is on vacation. I concede however, that I have no legal training, and of course there's no Case Law in place yet to guide us on how the courts would actually view the practice.

Re: BBC iPlayer - Antiques Roadshow.
In the US, it is my opinion that while it is probably a violation of the BBC's website terms of use, using a proxy service to access streaming content for personal use would be considered fair use from the viewpoint of copyright. Nevertheless - In the specific case of iPlayer and Canada, if you have an Apple device such as an iPhone or iPad, you can download the BBC iPlayer app and watch BBC content freely, although I do not know if Antiques Roadshow is one of the shows available. The app is also available in Australia and the EU. The sun never sets on the BBC's digital distribution rights (if you have an iPhone, that is.) [Why they are able to distribute video over iPhones but not over desktops I cannot fathom. It is also the case that you can freely access BBC radio content outside the UK on a desktop, but not over a mobile device.] Another possibility is to keep an eye on the Antiques Roadshow website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mj2y where they usually select a few clips from recent episodes and make them available for a time worldwide without restriction. Perhaps they will excerpt Mike Shaw's segment there.

Re: BBC iPlayer - Antiques Roadshow.
Thank you Mike for creating an interesting lesson on heliochronometers. Thank you, Barry for making this available along the lines of acceptable use within the copyright and intellectual property laws. I see the sundial list was included as a bcc. I will respect that. Thank you Steve for pointing out that there are laws on digital copyrights that are getting more restrictive. The free internet that we have all contributed to is rapidly becoming a restrictive business.
