How do I set this up?
I have a Mac (OSX Leopard) and he uses (OSX Tiger) and Windows on his computers.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here's a page that tells you how to set up a Windows or Mac to connect to an SSH server (your brother's new server he set up - if he doesn't know his IP address he can go to http://www.whatismyip.com). Then you can browse and use the BBC iPlayer.
When you're done, don't forget to reverse your proxy settings as told to do in the article or you won't be able to use the Internet because your tunnel won't be active.

dholowiski, have you had good luck watching video streams over remote control programs? I've found the performance lacking, but I use LogMeIn (they have a free version, check them out)
I, also, use the free Logmein (and the brilliant iPhone app) but it is not something you could use for video.
here a link to how to make it work on iplayer.

Using a proxy service like hide my ip has the potential to slow down simply because of the number of people that might use it. tunneling (or proxying) a PC through to another PC over there (like paddymosse's brother) , where you are the only one doing it, has less of a chance to slow down for reasons beyond your control.

I used proxy servers for UK from this site and was able to use iPlayer from US.
