How to Watch ABC, NBC, FOX, and CBS TV Streams From Outside the USA

How to Watch ABC, NBC, FOX, and CBS TV Outside the USA

So you're a big Lost or Heroes fan who doesn't want to wait a year or more for your favorite show to be broadcast overseas, but the problem is that ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX won't let you watch the latest episodes online because you don't live in the USA. The fundamental problem you're facing is Internet censorship, and there are many tools to help you circumvent it.

What are your options (assuming you don't just give up)?

Use a web-based proxy in the US. As we've stated before, this almost never works because the proxy can't detect the URLs that are hidden in the Flash and Javascript files used by these video sites. Plus, proxy sites don't like to incur the massive bandwidth costs of proxying video streams. There are exceptions like YouTubeProxy, however. Try out one of the many online video sites that host links to a virtual library of TV shows.

Why you should US VPN service to get going?

Use a US-based VPN, or virtual private network. We've written about VPNs before in conjunction with bypassing bandwidth throttling of BitTorrent downloads.

VPNs are probably the most general-purpose way to view video content that has been restricted online. Proxies that support video must be custom coded to support each site so, for the most part, only the biggest sites will be supported.

So, let's examine the third option a little more. A VPN essentially acts like a second ISP. You get a new IP address to show the world (including, say, ABC.com) so ABC has no idea that you're outside the US. That means you get to watch all the Desperate Housewives you want.

We have recommended HMA VPN for a good publicly accessible VPN before. The free version limits you to a bandwidth of 256kbits/sec so you'll probably encounter annoying pauses while watching a video (as you can see below). The pay version at 5000kbits/sec should work better.

To get unlimited online streaming facility, users can use pro VPN service like HMA. There will be every possible way of watching live ABC, NBC, FOX, and CBS TV. You can watch the match while living anywhere in the world. No one can give any restriction to block over the streaming process. By using the PRO VPN service, you can be an anonymous user. So no more hacking IDs and no restriction over Internet usage.
