Or at least we were the last time I tried to watch it. I'm wondering if there's other shows that are blocked in the United States that are worth watching. I think you fail to grasp the idea that some countries are blocked from watching some shows. I'm guessing the United States is on that list. This whole thread is about the idea that you can't stream some Netflix programming into Canada, but this Web site gives you a work around for that. So, no, I'm not asking if there's programming in other countries that is worth watching. I'm asking if there's programming in other countries blocked in the United States that is worth paying $5 for a faked IP address. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
