There are many reasons a TV show may be available to audiences in one country or region but not another:
Regional tastes: We do our best to shape our service by region. For example, some TV shows that are popular with our members in the United States may not be desirable to members in Canada, even though they're both English-speaking regions.
Multiple rights owners: More than one studio or distributor may own regional rights for a show. For example, we may sign an agreement with a distributor to show a US-made movie in Canada before we've signed an agreement with the producer allowing us to air it in the U.S.
No rights available for a region: Sometimes a TV show simply isn't available in a particular region. We can't buy a TV show or movie license for a specific region if no one is selling it.
