lol do u even have a TV Tuner...lol ? thats quite impossible my friend
Answer 2 :
Ha--you're funny... Buy it some tea and biscuits, that should do the trick!! Serious, you can't trick ip addresses.
Answer 3 :
check the channels website, see if they have any webstreams of what you want to watch, if not, you might just have to wait till you get back to the UK.
Answer 4 :
you could try to hack the computer or find out your ip address and change it back to what it was in the UK but i don't know if its really legal... or if its possible best of luck and do try giveing it bisquikes maybe it'll soften up :)

Is a transformer needed for using a UK laptop in the USA.

Is a transformer needed for using a UK laptop in the USA?
I intend using my Compaq laptop in the US and have an adaptor for the electric plug but what will be the consequences of using a 240V laptop on US 110V voltage? Will it make any difference to the laptop or do I need some sort of transformer?

Answer 1 :
who cares just try it.. If sparks come out then you might need an adapter.
Answer 2 :
you will nee a converter but look at the back of the laptop most 220 type computers have a red switch to change voltage from 220 to 110 if not you have to by a voltage converter at radio shack costs about $25.00 U.S.
Answer 3 :
Don't take any notice of the MORONIC PRICK that answered your question. On the bottom of your charging unit you will see that it says the range in voltage is from 110 to 240 volts you just need a adapter for the wall socket. jwizle not the other one
