Direct xbian through SSH tunnel

[xtracold]

Hello,

I have a ssh tunnel in the UK that I use for watching UK TV. I would like to get the bbciplayer plugin working on xbian and when in use automatically connect through the ssh tunnel.

Does anyone have some advice on how to make this happen? If I set up an http proxy on another machine in the house that pushes everything through the tunnel would that work?

Thanks
