VPN for Watching Canadian TV

Postby ruanddu » Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:13 pm

Would love to watch some of the Discovery shows shown in Canada, though they are blocked online for viewing in U.S. Anyone use any of the free VPNs out their to watch? If so, what do you recommend?

Thank you.

I've heard stories of people having Canadian satellite dishes in the States since Canadians get access to both countries' channels. Not that I know anyone who does ;)

VPN services mask the true origin of your IP address. Since Canadian TV is blocked for viewing in the US, discussions to bypass this arrangement are totally unacceptable in this forum. This topic is locked.
