See American TV as if you were in the u.s.

I don't know if everybody knows, but you can watch most of the American series directly on the site of the TV that produces. The series The Big Bang Theory, for example, can be assisted, in full, on the website of the American CBS TV.

However, When we are in Brazil and we click on the link to watch any series, usually receive the message that the “content is not available for your region”. As shown below:

The same occurs when we try to watch “The Simpsons” directly from the website of the Fox. The message is now: “geographical restriction”.

The constraint is caused by contractual differences of copyright of the TV series in each country. The Brazilian pay TV buys the right to pass a particular product and prevents it from being assisted by other means. This can even occur only in part of the series or TV show. On NetFlix, for example, There's also this restriction. See below the series Dexter only has 6 seasons available, While you were 8 already shown on American TV.

To make the site of a American TV or even NetFlix, imagine that you are in the USA, You can use a Proxy system. I have tried many times to make it work, but usually at low speed and with several problems. It was all quite complicated until the arrival of the extension HOLA, for Google Chrome. Install the extension in your browser and will be treated as a legitimate American!

By clicking on the extension, in the upper-right corner of your browser toolbar, you choose the country you want to “be part” and the site reloads, running everything as if you were really in the USA!

You can watch the series The Big Bang Theory direct from the CBS Web site. If your English is not very good, It is usually possible to enable subtitles (in English).

The series Dexter is his eight complete seasons, as shown below. Once again, only in English with subtitles. NetFlix also having other content and different movies, a much larger catalog than available to users “Brazilians”.

HOLA extension functions as a proxy, IE, a computer in the u.s. that accesses the desired site and relays the information directly to your PC here in Brazil. Check it out, in the picture below, the location that appears when I use the extension on my computer.

However, HOLA extension is slow and problematic. Generally you can't watch NetFlix series at any time or in HD quality. But it's free, I can't complain.

For those who do not have a Scorpion in your pocket and want a bit more quality and functionality, recommend a paid DNS system, as available on this website Unlocator.

The services of the Unlocator cost only $ 4.95 and allow high-speed access to any site on the internet, as if your computer was in the u.s.. You can also access as if it were a computer in Canada or United Kingdom.

The advantage of the Unlocator is the simplicity of installation. No need to install any software! Just change the DNS of your network on your router (photo below) for 185.037.037.037 (primary) and 185.037.037.185 (secondary) and all your network computers will be, automatically, perceived as American PCs. Works on Android, on the PS3, in wired and WiFi!

From time to time the system shuts down and you must update your IP on the site Unlocator. You can also use a link available on the site to do it automatically.

The advantage of Unlocator is that it does not use a Proxy for all sites, but for those who are in a list. Its location remains the same, unless you're in some American TV site or on NetFlix.

Before I got this job I'd put most series that via. I think a lot more fun because it is convenient and faster. I can also take advantage of services available in the u.s. such as Playstation Home and other. Practice your English and get rid of the Brazilian TV, paid and open!
