If you've ever tried to watch streaming services in the UK, or
wherever you happen to be outside the US, you'll run into the error
'content not available in your area.' The issue here is that Hulu,
Netflix and now Youtube, the internet's main online providers of tv
shows and movies have licensing deals that block outside-US traffic
from using their services, instead focusing on the US market for its
lucrative advertisements for US-based services.
A proxy is computer access you can rent for around $5-10 a month
to gain access to US-only content wherever you are in the world. These
services work for anyone of course, wherever you happen to live and
already have broadband access.
OK, but if you're like me you won't know about how to set up a proxy….but help is at hand! If you go to WatchTVoverseas.com then they can (and will) tell you all about it.
