The only way I'll have one of those is if it pays for itself - cause I won't.

You won't get £100 for junk

Just read their promotion and it talks about them valuing your old laptop and then giving you "up to" £100. So I guess my Toshiba 166MHz laptop will get me about 10p.

Roaming?

The company which I work for has an internet presence which surfaces either in Germany or the US, depending on which server the autoproxy randomly assigns. So I can't see video at the BBC either. Interestingly I can see some video at sky news.

I notice that most US web sites with video are now asking for a zip code and a tick-box confirmation that the user is in the US.
