The Abominable Bride MASTERPOST
The episode airs Friday, January 1st. It shows first at 9PM GMT (UK) on BBC One and a few hours later at 9PM (all USA timezones) on PBS. Of course, please double-check your local stations for the correct times.
It REALLY helps if you download Adblocker on your computer browser. Also, if a livestream requires you to be in the UK or the US, download Hola! for your browser, which changes your IP address (EDIT: this can be a possible security threat, so see my recent post for more info). These extensions can be downloaded from Google Chrome’s web store (and most other browsers).
Unfortunately, I can’t find any livestream links for PBS, so here are some livestream links for BBC One:
http://livetvcafe.net/video/X6R47664W52Y/ (has a chatbox which is nice, but try another link if it gets too crowded/laggy)
http://freetvall.com/video/3d7rg2by8aau/bbc-one (same as above)
http://www.time4tv.com/2011/06/bbc-one.php (same as above)

http://www.tvguide.co.uk/tv-stream/?ch=bbc+1 (IP must be in UK to use)
http://www.zoptv.com/live/bbc-one (turn off Adblocker to use)
Remember to convert 9PM GMT to your timezone! You can convert it here.
Next, if you want to catch up or rewatch the episode after it airs, you can watch it Sunday, Jan 10th at 10PM on PBS, or you can simply check any of these websites:

http://www.cokeandpopcorn.ch/53516-download-or-watch-sherlock-online.php (scroll down to the Episode Guide, choose TAB, and click on the gray box that reads INTERNET LINKS)

Please wait for a few hours after the episode first airs until links to TAB show up on the websites!
Finally, TAG YOUR POSTS SO OTHERS CAN BLACKLIST THEM. Use #shspesh, #tab spoilers (simply tagging as #tab is unhelpful), #sherlock spoilers, etc. There are a few good blacklisting services that I know of:
Download New XKit (NOT the old XKit; it’s shut down) for your computer browser for free (can be found on Chrome web store and probably other browsers). You can also buy it from the App Store for your phone, but it’s easier to go on your computer for free or use Washboard.ws on your phone.
Download Tumblr Savior for your computer browser.
Type in Washboard.ws in your computer or phone browser, sign in, authorize it, and adjust your blacklisting preferences at the little icon at the top under Rules.
Sorry for the long post, but I hope this is useful! I might update this post, so it’s a good idea to check back to the original source post. Feel free to reblog and add your own links and tips if you have any!
