It's quite unbelievable when you think of it. I could sit here in a township called Stanstead on the US/Canadian border and view Canadian TV online without an issue. If I cross the border line with my laptop and stroll down the street and link from a Starbucks down the route and I am blocked. This is because simple, by joining from the US side of the border and strolling a few hundred yards I 've also altered my electronic address. The difference may appear insignificant but it actually makes a tremendous difference to what I could do online. Most major sites will look up your place as you join and command what you see on their website. For example when in canada, I get blocked attempting to watch anything on Hulu or Pandora, these work totally with an US IP address. There's a less strenuous means to change your addresses without transferring location although it operates readily enough. It is possible to use a Canadian proxy to hide your real location and regain control!
