Default Does anyone watch European TV online from US?

I was trying to watch French TV online, but it's only showing me the commercials - for the videos I get a message saying that the program is inaccessible for my area. I was wondering who watches what from Europe online and from which sites? I'm also interested in watching TV from Italy.

You can watch Russian TV online from anywhere - live or on demand.

I'm not sure if all channels (there are more of them than one can count) don't block foreign access - but I doubt any do this, and this may even be... discouraged by the Fed government.

I use a VPN to watch BBC's F1 coverage. The Norwegian broadcast is terrible.

Thank you for the responses. cmptrwlt, I'm not familiar with VPNs. Is it a service you pay a monthly fee for, or is something you buy and install yourself?

I don't. It's not worth the trouble, IMO. Except sometimes I watch documentaries on Series y programas de TVE online - RTVE.es but I'm a native Spanish speaker so I can appreciate and understand whatever it is I'm watching
