From the post-war television boom to the MTV Generation and golden age of prestige television boxsets, the U.S. has long been at the forefront of innovation in TV. To list all of the great shows the country has produced over the years would require subset after subset of Wikipedia pages — and that's before you get to the swathes of live sports coverage it broadcasts every day.Despite its influence on the global television industry, however, trying to watch U.S. TV when overseas is problematic.
Yes, much of what comes out of the States finds its own carriers and streaming services in different regions. But that sometimes means a big delay in availability (to which any Brit who had to painfully wait for "The Pitt" to make it to the U.K. will attest) or, if you're on vacation, potentially paying for another service for something you'd ordinarily be able to watch at home.Using a VPN changes that. Turn on a service like NordVPN and jump on one of its many United States-based servers, and you'll soon be streaming just like you were back at home. Below we explain how, and what this handy tool will allow you to watch.
How to watch U.S. TV from anywhere in the world
Americans away from home will be frustrated when trying to watch their domestic streaming services — even those they pay a subscription for — when out of the country. The platforms simply won't function like they do back in the States.You can still stream their content, however, by using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software can make your devices appear to be back in your home country regardless of where you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN — we explain why in our NordVPN review.
