It's rather unbelievable when you consider it. I will sit here in a township called Stanstead on the USA/Canadian border and watch Canadian TV online without a trouble. If I stroll down the street and cross the border line with my notebook computer and join from a Starbucks down the road and I am blocked. This is because simple, by walking a few hundred yards and joining from your US side of the boundary I 've also changed my digital address. The difference might appear insignificant but it really makes a huge difference to what I will do online. Most major websites control what you see on their site and will look up your place as you link. As an example when in canada, I get blocked attempting to watch anything on Hulu or Pandora.com, these work totally with an US IP address. There is a less strenuous method to change your addresses without transferring location although it functions readily enough. You can use a Canadian proxy to hide your real location and regain control!
