I’m actually really looking forward to the show on building a media center. Although I do watch a fair bit of network content out of Japan, I’m also very interested in any solutions for getting content from abroad. I’d love to hear some ideas on how to get, let’s say, US content on my TV in Japan. Hulu is blocked, Netflix is blocked and most of the network sites won’t allow their content abroad. Setting up a VPN or going through a paid proxy are always an option, but a more legal and high performance way would be preferable.
Looking forward to “The Annex” coming soon!
Glad to hear that, Hiroki. The guy who will be doing “The Annex” is very knowledgeable, and I also am looking forward to what he has to say.
