About the only thing you can’t do with SBT is stream it outside of Brazil. That’s because the network is geo-blocked outside of Brazilian borders. Geo-blocked means that content is unavailable from a website unless you are within that country’s national borders. Networks geo-block content to prevent anyone from seeing what its own customers are paying for, either through natural fees for cable or through advertising
How does geo-blocking work?
Most networks use geo-blocking to restrict abuse of copyright or trademark laws. A lot of this is based on the difference between territorial and national laws between countries.
How to avoid geo-blocking
There are two ways to avoid geo-blocking and watch current television shows. One is to use bittorrent software, the other is to use a virtual private network (VPN). Bittorrent software walks the tightrope of legality. The software itself is not a problem, but sites that use it are in an eternal struggle with lawyers and law enforcement about sharing copyrighted music, TV shows, movies, and more, without permission. Another problem with bittorrent is that many of its users are using the interchange to spread malware including viruses, Trojans, spyware, and ransomware. These users will label a file with a fake name, usually one of the latest or hottest episode of a current TV show or movie. When it is downloaded, it infects the user’s computer and can infect other computers as well. VPN, on the other hand, protects you against government interference by encrypting your connection to give you complete anonymity. The VPN connects your computer to one in the jurisdiction you plan on streaming content from and provides you with an IP address that should allow you to stream content. In fact, VPNs work so well that it is ideal to use for torrenting because it keeps your connection secure and anonymous.
What makes a good VPN?
There are several things to look for when searching for a VPN. First and foremost is to make sure it supports the platform you are interested in. Most VPNs support Windows and its products but VPNs for MACs or VPNs for iPhones are not as easy to find. If you are using your VPN to torrent or stream programming, there are several functions and features that should be included.
