The solution is easy: browse to the website under an IP allocated for use in the US via a proxy server. Implementation is not as easy. Find an IT friend to help you get going.

I’ve been watching the Daily Show on thecomedynetwork.ca but want to see the archive shows that are only on the Daily Show’s website. Anyone figured out a way to see them from Canada?

And, man, that’s so ridiculous that Global and CTV could put a stranglehold on the content. It’s the same thing with Conan o’Brien on the NBC website… We’re just, as a nation, kept out of new media because of Global and CTV? Who does one complain to about this?

We just relaunched a new beta video player at TCN. Hopefully it makes it a little easier to find those Daily Show clips Try it out and let us know what you think at the blog!

Canadians are causing troubles for the US Facist Regime. Not to mention the neocons are getting in position to take Canada Completely as well. I am not surprised and be prepared for major internet censoring in the near future. The only info you will eventually get is from the party line.

Welcome to the NWO!

I’ve been frustrated too, but here in Norway, thedailyshow.com works just fine, and has since I received the first tip about it. New clips work just fine too.

You know what, FUCK that. I’ve pirated (limewire), been frustrated (slow downloads), been releived (NBC, Fox streaming sites), been pissed (not available to Canadians), been over joyed (TheDailyShow.com — so many Even Stephven clips!!!), and now, FUCK IT (again, no Canadian Access).
So Fuck IT.
Entirely. Fuck the daily show, fuck TV, fuck stephen colbert, fuck corn on the cob, fuck their sites and fuck their advertising.
That’s it. Whether I can watch their shows at 12:05 (AST), or catch reruns multiple times the next day, FUCK IT. I signed up for theDailyShow.com and browsed their site for HOURS, watching clips that I’d never heard of, digging for history. Now I visit it, and it’s the same as NBC.com, fox.com, hulu and now this.
This writers strike is happening at a brilliant time, because (and it’s silly, i know), but out of principle, FUCK IT. It’s greedy, childish and now unacceptable. I’m boycotting the Daily Show, Stephen Colbert, 24, The Office, 30 Rock — everything I’ve enjoyed.

Am I over reacting? Well I quit smoking today so it’s hard to tell, but I’ve been patient, understanding, willing to go around and find a way to watch it anyways. But now? (pardon my Canadian French) — FUCK THEM.

Someone e-mail when they’ve changed their mind — otoolerc AT gmail DOT com
