The odd-musings of Jared, the Director of Network Security for IAPS Security Services.

I normally cruise the various Zattoo version from time to time when I have a chance to see whats on. I normally stick with the English channels as that is the main focus of many of our clients. This past evening was quite a shock. I normally ignore the enormous amount of channels in the German language (although I do speak and understand it fluently) and head straight for Euro News, France 24, or BBC News. But I decided for once to cruise the rest of the channels and was shocked to see numerous channels running tv porn.

I was always under the understanding that Zattoo was against that kind of tv. But its there for those of you that enjoy it.

Ok guys, I wanted to let you know that over the last 2 months or so I’ve literally received hundreds of requests to devise a way to get an Xbox 360 to run through a vpn service. I’m pleased to announce that my efforts have been successful and I have tested the IAPS networks in Ireland, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States and all jurisdictions were easily able to play online at Xbox Live.

With the major part out of the way, I’m now working on how to stream media services from the Xbox 360 to your TV directly. I know a few British services have just launched Xbox 360 compatible streaming services and I hope to have a solid guide for this as well in the next few coming days.

Here is the step by step guide straight from the IAPS site detailing how you can setup your Xbox 360 to use a vpn:

How To Use A VPN With Xbox 360.

I have screen shots available that prove my method works, and that it works well. It is my hopes that I have fulfilled another well sought-after entertainment facility for you folks. If you have any questions or comments, or would like to see the screen shots, please let me know. Thank you.

For all you expats or expatriates out there who aren’t aware that even when your abroad, your local television is only a few clicks away no matter what country your currently located in. We’re aware that many of you travel overseas for business, vacation, or even move there permanently or seasonaly. The good thing is that you can take your local tv stations with you. All you need is a broadband internet connection with at least a 2 mb connection rate. Combined with a modern pc or mac with current updates and some nice hardware under the hood, online expat tv is only a matter of a few clicks.

Now I’m not referring to pre-recorded tv, torrents, or cam tv. I’m referring to the real experience. Live local tv on your computer. If sitting around your computer isn’t for you, then there are projectors and tv cable links that physically hook up to your tv that you can buy that will transfer the images from your computer directly to your tv. Then you can sit in the living room or front room and enjoy your local tv from whatever country you happen to be in.

Whether your interests lie in British TV, Switzerland TV, or American TV, IAPS has you covered.

There are a multitude of live television streaming sites out there including Zatto, ITV, Ch4oD, BBC, Channel5, Hulu.com, and many more that whatever your interest or language, you’re covered. Friendly live support technicians are available to assist you during your setup, answer your questions, and get you starting to feel at home again in your new residence.

If you have children this is a great way to help them adjust to their new environment and keep up with the shows at home. Never again do they have to feel left out and wondering how a series ended or began. With several tv catchup series available out there you can always go back and watch again the series that you may have missed before acquiring our services.

Once you purchase a service from us, your not alone. We provide on-going technical support, friendly assistance, and helpful tips to help you get the most out of using our services. We don’t just stick you with a program and expect you to figure out how it works. Most services that we offer don’t even require a single download. We do our best to provide services that use whats already pre-installed in your own computer. What could be better than that?

Questions are always welcome and we’ve created a Frequently Asked Questions section to address the most commonly asked questions. If your questions aren’t answered there, you can always mail them in and we’ll provide the best possible answers we have for you. We want you to enjoy every second of service you have with us and strive our hardest to work for you. Give us a chance to show you the IAPS difference!
