Famous streaming channels of TV shows and movies such as Netflix US, Hulu and Pandora are location restricted only people who are living the United States can access them. But if you are living in countries i.e. Canada, Australia, United Kingdom so you have to use Virtual Private Network http://www.vpnlogics.com/how-to-watch-hulu-outside-the-us/ (VPN) software allows you enjoy the streaming on all devices in your country.
