Proxy?

[tdc]

Hoping to be watching the upcoming F1 season here in Germany.
My German is bad so I am hoping to watch the race live on German TV and listen to live commentary on BBC 5 Live. Tried this last year and all I got was a "RIGHTS ISSUE" warning. I assume this is because they do not broadcast other than to UK?
I have been looking at PROXIES!!
Are these legal?
How would this affect my desktop general workings.
Can anyone recommend where to look for one of these.
Is this a wise choice or not.
Thanks

Its fine you can even get proxy plugins for browsers these days.

I've used proxies to unlock games early and play them before they are technically available in the UK, BF4 was out 3 or so days earlier in the US than here for example.

Failing that, you could get a DAB radio, they dont have country IP restrictions.

Thanks for that. Could you explain how I actually get the proxy to work.
