Unable to open US internet content
Hey Shag, it won't open for you because of typical copyright restrictions with you being here in Canada. I certainly respect copyrights and intellectual property however this is often abused by greedy companies and lawyers when it comes to TV broadcasting that is free anyway over the airway. If you live close enough like me to the US border you can get it the TV broadcasts anyway.
I'm sure many non US residents on here are aware of how frustrating it is when on-line content is blocked outside the US. This is RARELY because the US originator does not want you to see it: It's because some company in your own country has obtained distributions rights and either wants to block it to protects their own lesser quality crap already being distributed, or distribute it with local commercials that they absolutely torture you with over and over again. By viewing US content we are not taking any jobs away from our US friends and family and in most cases actually exposing us to US goods and services or making us aware of travel destinations etc etc.
Here is one suggestion for anyone so that you can view this if you are outside the US. Download hotspot shield from a reputable site. It blocks your IP address and assigns you a US one and your good to go.
This is also relevant to any US residents when travelling outside the US. The internet doesn't care that you are American and were the intended audience, you too will be blocked from accessing some content if you are in Canada or any other country on vacation etc etc.
Sorry for going off topic a bit but I did it to help out
