It means that once your IP shows you are not in the US, your access will be prohibited. This can be overcome by simply changing your IP address to make the site believe you are back home, so you'll need a VPN for the job. We always use ExpressVPN because it's an easy-to-use tool that has thousands of servers all over the world.

The only thing you need to do, though, is to log into an account with the help of credentials from your TV provider.
