How To Connect Your Macbook or Laptop To Your HDTV

How To Connect Your Computer To Your TVBeing able to watch Hulu in Canada, access the American Netflix library from the Great White North (it’s snowing here in Calgary today) is a great way to dramatically increase your content option here in Canada.

Of course, you will need to virtually reside in the USA in order to access these otherwise blocked sites, but we know that HMA can take care of that step for us quickly, easily and reliably.

Many How to Get it in Canada readers have asked me over the years about being able to watch the content offered on these great sites on their big screen HDTVs.

Although there are lots of different ways to access this content through your HDTV I wanted to share with you the method that I personally use and that I believe is the easiest to set up.

Depending on your computer, you might already have everything you need already to set this up.

The British Are Coming… To Hulu : How To Watch BBC on Hulu in Canada

BBC Is Now On HuluYou might recall that I posted a guide on how to watch the BBC iPlayer in Canada, a guide that still works and is an excellent option to watch the BBC in Canada.

I did want to update you on the recent changes over at Hulu that makes watching programming from the BBC as easy as watching Hulu in Canada.

That’s right, “The British are coming, the British are coming” to Hulu that is.

The BBC and Hulu announced that many of the popular shows from the BBC will now be available to be streamed directly from hulu just like you would watch hulu original content like Prisoners of War.

I can almost hear the dry sense of humor crowd rejoicing that these great British shows will be easily accessed using HMA to virtually reside in the USA.

It appears that there is an excellent offering of BBC shows on the free version of Hulu.  However, if you want to gain access to the full offering of BBC programming over at Hulu you will need to sign up for Hulu Plus (here is the guide on how to do that).

Of course, you always have the option to simply set HMA to virtually reside in the United Kingdom so you are able to stream these same shows from the BBC iPlayer.

The choice is now yours as to weather you want to watch BBC shows on Hulu and Hulu Plus or directly from the BBC iPlayer from Canada (and anywhere around the world!).  Enjoy!

Is Canadian Netflix Worth It?

Is Netflix Canada Worth It?A friend was telling me the other day that he was looking to save money each month by cutting out some of his monthly expenses.

He quickly noted that his cell phone service was not on the chopping block nor was his gym membership, car payment or mortgage for obvious reasons.

This very quickly lead the discussion into which of his expenses he was willing to cut out without significantly changing his quality of life.  So what about cutting his:

Electricity?  Nope.

Natural gas?  Nope.

Internet?  Nope.

I told him that, even though I do still have a cable TV package, I stream most of my shows from sites like Hulu, Netflix and I watch hockey (blackout free by the way) on NHL GameCenter Live.

After a short discussion surrounding if relying solely on online content was feasible he asked me: “I’ve head that Canadian Netflix kind of sucks… so, is Canadian Netflix worth is“?

My response to him was “who still only relies on Canadian Netflix anymore?!?”

He looked a little confused but I quickly explained to him that by simply using a Pro VPN you are able to virtually reside in the USA which means that you can watch the American version of Netflix right here in Canada.

He was skeptical at first, but after I showed him just how easy it is to set up HMA on your computer, tablet, smartphone, etc. he jumped on board and signed up for a free trial of Netflix.

To get him started I told him to turn on HMA and check out Sons of Anarchy, Good Will Hunting, Battlestar Galactica which are all shows that you can only stream from Netflix USA.

Just look at some of these before and afters, from Canada, when HMA is turned off and turned on.

How To Hide Your Identity Online (If You Don’t Read This Your Identity & Credit Card Numbers Are At Risk)

You might not know this, but when you visit a website you’re giving up a lot of information about you and your internet connection.

Just take a look at how much information you’re actually giving up just by visiting a simple reverse IP lookup website.

How To Hide Your Identity Online

You might not think that information such as your location is a problem but the information above is only the tip of the iceberg which is why you need to know how to hide your identity online.

The sophistication of hackers have continued to evolve over the years but it’s truly scary to know that one of the simplest think that a hacker can do is set up a free public WiFi hotspot and act as the internet service provider (ISP).

When a hacker is the ISP and you connect to that WiFi hotspot you are essentially allowing that hacker to look at every single page, every single piece of data including your email, facebook and even banking login information and possibly even your credit card number. 

Just take a look at this image where a white hat hacker shows just how easy it is to capture credit cred numbers by setting up their own free public WiFi hotspot:

Protect Your Credit Card Online

Scared yet?  You should be… getting hacked, especially when using sketchy free public WiFi, is a very real threat and one that you should not take lightly.

I’m Excited to Stream Live NHL Hockey in 2013-2014

NHL LogoOn October 1, 2013 the 2013-2014 NHL season will kick off with three games featuring the:

  • Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Montreal Canadiens
  • Washington Capitals vs. Chicago Blackhawks
  • Winnipeg Jets vs. Edmonton Oilers

and I’m not going to lie… I’m really exited for hockey this year!

As we all know, last year’s NHL season got off to a whimper in January after a long strike steaming from a dispute between the NHLPA and the owners.

Although last year’s shortened season was better than nothing, I just didn’t get my fill of hockey that I need to get every year!

Calgary Flames Blackout FreeNow, I risk taking a lot of ridicule by saying this, but I’m a Calgary Flames fan.

Jarome Iginla, the heart and soul of our team, left us last year for greener pastures to play with Crosby and Malkin and is suiting up with the Boston Bruins this year.

Although Iggy is still deeply missed here in Calgary, there is also a sense a rejuvenation and hope that comes along with a young roster full of hungry guys looking to make their mark and become everyday NHL players.

Beyond being a Flames fan I’m really just a huge fan of hockey.  I enjoy watching great hockey being played by passions players who want to win.

If you love watching hockey on your terms, meaning you can stream any game live from anywhere then keep reading.

How To Stream Sons Of Anarchy From US Netflix in Canada

If you’re a Netflix subscriber in Canada and a fan of Sons of Anarchy you probably have noticed that Sons of Anarchy is not available to stream in Canada as shown below.

Watch Sons of Anarchy Netflix Canada

Just by living in Canada and not the United States you’re missing out on 4 great seasons of Sons of Anarchy that our neighbours south of the border can stream on demand to their hearts content.

4 Seasons Sons of Anarchy

As you know, I’m not a fan of having the web blocked to millions of people in Canada and around the world simply because of where we live.

That’s why, since 2011 I’ve been showing Canadians, just like you, how to get American Netflix in Canada.

If you would rather see the next image when you’re searching for Sons of Anarchy from Canada then keep reading this guide and I’ll show you how it’s done.

Stream Sons of Anarchy in Canada

Step 1 To Watching Sons of Anarchy on Netflix in Canada

The first thing you will need is a program that I refer to as HMA.

HMA is a Pro VPN that allows you to change the location that your internet connection appears to originate.

You see, your internet connection has a digital passport that websites (and hackers) can use to see where you’re located.  If you’re not in the USA then sites like Netflix won’t show you their US-based content.

By connecting to HMA first you will effectively be using a new digital passport that was issued by a server in the United States which means that when you go to visit a site like Netflix it will show you much bigger library that Americans enjoy but us Canadians do not.

Click here to sign up for HMA so you can start watching Sons of Anarchy in Canada and around the world.

There are lots of different ways to watch US Netflix so make sure to check out the full guide.

How To Watch Good Will Hunting On Netflix in Canada

One of my favorite movies is Good Will Hunting.

Like many other Canadians I was sad to see that it wasn’t available to stream from my Netflix Canada account.

If you have ever tried to search for this classic academy award winning movie from Canada you will have seen this message from Netflix:

Watch Good Will Hunting Netflix Canada

I have to admit that my sadness didn’t last long because I know the trick that lets me virtually reside in the United States so I can watch the American version of Netflix in Canada.

With one simple trick you too can stop missing out on the massive amount of content that is available on the US version of Netflix.

This trick involves a very simple tool that I refer to as HMA.  If you check out their name you will see why I always refer to them as an acronym rather than their full name.

HMA is a professional level virtual private network, or VPN for short, that allows you to connect to one of their 231 (and counting) servers that are based in the United States.

By connecting to one of theses severs before you log into your Netflix account here in Canada you will dramatically improve your viewing experience as it’s rumored that the US version of Netflix is somewhere between 3 and 10 times bigger than the Canadian version!

Let me say that again: the American version of Netflix is somewhere between 3 and 10 times bigger than the version of Netflix you can access up here in Canada.

If you’re tired of missing out on all this free content then click here and sign up for HMA right now.

After you do, you will see a very different sight when you search for Good Will Hunting on Netflix up here in Canada.  It will look like this:

Stream Good Will Hunting on Netflix in Canada

Watch Battlestar Galactica on Netflix in Canada

For Battlestar Galactica fans it sucks just a little bit living in Canada because Netflix Canada does not let you stream the TV series or the movie from the Great White North.

If you’ve ever search Netflix Canada for “Battlestar Galactica” then you have most certainly seen the following sight (which probably bummed you out):

How To Watch Battlestar Galactica Netflix Canada

Now, the great new for fans of this epic science fiction series that you do not have to travel to a far away galaxy in order to be able to stream Battlestar Galactica on Netflix in Canada.

All you need is one simple trick that will allow you to temporarily, and whenever you want, relocate to the United States so you can watch Netflix USA in Canada.

The science behind this trick isn’t quite a complicated as teleporting but it’s essentially the same thing.  After you flip the switch, which is a simple as a few mouse clicks, you will essentially teleport yourself from the comfort of your own home or office in Canada to one of hundreds of safe and secure locations in the United States.

This simple trick involves using a virtual private network, or VPN for short.

The $2.6 Million Goes To…

US Open Prize MoneyAs the US Open tennis tournament enters it’s 40th year of awarding equal prize money to the men and women they also have the distinction of being and to hand out the single largest payout in tennis with $2.6 million going to the winner.

If Raffa Nadal wins the US Open he will pick up a check for $3.6 million as he has already clinched the 2013 series title and the $1 million bonus that goes along with it.

Of course, if Raffa is able to win the US Open his $3.6 million dollar “pay day” will be the single largest in tennis history.

Of course, I had to say “pay day” because, although Raffa will be battling it out on the tennis court for two weeks, the incredibly hard work and all the countless hours of training and sacrifice has been going on for years.

If you don’t happen to win the US Open this year, but you’re one of the 128 players that are in the draw there’s good news for you too.  According to this article the prize money for each round has gone up at least 37%.  Talk about an awesome yearly raise!

Just look at these prize money amounts for each round of the tournament:

Tom Brokaw Explains Canada to Americans

OkanaganThis past week I’ve been on summer holiday in the Okanagan valley in British Columbia.

I love coming out here for many reasons but one of them is because it allows be to reconnect with nature and disconnect with technology.

While I have been enjoying streaming episodes of Modern Family thanks to my hulu plus account on my iPhone, I have also enjoyed spending time with my thoughts, idea as well as visiting with friends, family and making new friends with the people we meet along the way.

During one of the many visits with a new Canadian friend I found my self reminiscing about the amazing trip my girlfriend and I took at the last minute to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympic Games.

You see, back in 1988 when I was a young buck living in Calgary I choose to go to a birthday party instead of the Olympic ski jumping event.

Although I do remember the goodie bag from that birthday party being pretty amazing I always, as an adult anyway, regretted not going to an Olympic even on home soil.

In 2010, I decided I was not going to make that mistake again and boy was that a great decision. [Read more…]
