Here's a list of Proxy Servers

http://www.xroxy.com/proxy-country-GB.htm

Take one and put it into your web browser.

Failing that, type "uk public proxy server" (without the quotes) into your favourite search engine and go through the various links and hope for the best.

I don't know if these proxy servers are blocked by the BBC, but you never know.

from what I've found out if you can watch a youtube video without it stuttering then you should be able to watch slingbox, i suppose it depends on the quality/resolution that you wish to view the image.

I'll confirm this next week as I've just gone and bought a Media Center Extender and a Slingbox and will be setting it up this weekend.

It can't be that bandwidth intensive as you can also watch it on windows mobile phones with a 3G connection.

Well you might get German TV in Geneva and if so then the ManU game is live on SAT-1 and both games are live on Premiere but that's digital and you'll have to find somewhere that has it (I don't think Switzerland does.)

That isn't an option today as I'm in Geneva and not heading back until next weekend. Also it's for my son. The commentary is better on the radio that you get on the TV so he prefers that.
