I have found a great live streaming site that carries some of my favourite overseas channels. However, I am on a metered connection (the only option with wireless RBI) and others can't be trusted to stop the stream when leaving the room. Is there any Windows utility with a timer function that is easy to set with a mouse that can kill the Internet connection or otherwise stop the stream after a certain interval? Must also be easy to restart.

Not sure about windows, but you can get a "sleep timer" extension for Chrome.

That looks like exactly what I want. My browser is a Chrome variant and it should work. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's actually not a bad idea but there are reasons I prefer not to go this route. My streaming computer is running 8.1 and I have had endless problems with the idiotic Windows green arrow of death killing the external usb drive I use for recording and playback. I have carefully disabled every sleep function in Windows and the last thing I want to do is mess with them again.
