This looks brilliant, is there any specific software you need for your pc?

It is brilliant, no software needed just registration where you promise only to use it in the uk due to licencing rights.
I've run it on Vista, XP, and linux. The only slight problem I've had is the picture freezing occasionally when in full screen on my netbook. Going back to non full screen and back resolves that.

Im not sure how well it works with 3g, but it does run on an i phone.

Just been reading the forum that I mentioned above and there are threats to ban you from the service if caught using a proxy.
However, they do seem to be hopeful that the geographic block may soon be lifted for Europe soon.

Doesn't work on Firefox, which is why it wouldn't play at work earlier

It'll be firewalled at work, so it wont let it play probably.
