arachnid40 Report post Posted December 25, 2009 I am always getting this "We're sorry but this video is unavailable in your region. " on Heavy.com not sure why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Report post Posted December 25, 2009 Always? Nothing ever plays?The owners of copyrights decide who and where and when to distrubute their property (and how much to charge for it, if anything). Lately a lot more content has had regional restrictions, though I don't know why such restrictions appear to be increasing.Another possibility (given no details) are govenment restrictions; Some material is restricted in some countrys (like Nazi material in Germany) or political content that does not toe the government line (like political discussion in China).

Pete_C Report post Posted December 27, 2009 Well you appear closer to Oregon than Canada so I doubt you have a Canadian ISP.So back to the question of Proxys or PeerGuardian ?Or maybe a firewall blocking their access? Or corrupted cookies (unlikely this happening on both browsers). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcl Report post Posted December 27, 2009 I get it too. It's possible that whatever method the site uses for geolocation doesn't work in our cases. I've had some geolocation services place me on the wrong continent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Report post Posted December 30, 2009 same thing happens with me too. I have Comcast of Nashville so there's definitely something wrong with Heavy.com's stuff.I do know there are GreaseMoneky scripts out there that can get around stuff like this.

Honda_Boy Report post Posted January 1, 2010 Just for the heck of it, I tested it on my laptop at my parents' house. They are on a local ISP run by the Power/Water company. Got the same result. Again, they really need to fix their crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Report post Posted January 1, 2010 Have you tried using a proxy just to see if it connects? I have no problem with them here in Dallas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
