If you go to www.sho.com/index.html, you can see their home page, but none of the links can be used. As this appears to be a TV network within the USA and the site is mainly for scheduling and programme descriptions, I can't see that access from elsewhere would be important.
What is interesting is that they do an IP lookup, presumably with an internal DNS, to determine the origin. In my case, they put on a Code: ZZCY20030824195.14.143.120, The last part is my current IP#, then ther's the date, then CY, meaning that their look-up determined the IP was in Cyprus. I don't now what ZZ means without Top. That didn't stop them putting on 3 cookies, though, into the bargain, the bastards.Brian (the devil incarnate)

Still, why they prevent access from outside the US is beyond me. It won't do any harm if someone not from outside US visits their site.no matrox, no matroxusers.Comment

Maybe has something to do with all those canadians with pirate satellite systems???

And here I thought it was to stop foreigners from seeing all the crap we watch on TV (that we pay extra for no less).“And, remember: there's no 'I' in 'irony'†~ Merlin MannComment
