It worked..don't understand why there was no problem for the first two weeks using Opera..toggled Turbo back on and again failed to play any video content.

Thx

Video sites expect that any proxy is an attempt to evade location restrictions. Turbo is actually a compressing proxy and includes your location in a separate header, but they block it anyway.
