Okay so i went to the website ABC Family to watch pretty little liars an it wouldnt play the videos. It says error 403-1, You appear to be outside the United States or its territories. Due to international rights agreements, we only offer this video to viewers located within the United States and its territories., and I'm in Missouri which is dead center in the United States. This computer hasnt been outside of the US, so i dont understand why its saying that. I checked the time zone on my computer as well an its in the right time zone. So if theres any way you can help me that would be great. Thanks.

hello denverniccole, websites will detect your location based on the public ip address your internet service provider assigns to you: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/network-location/

there's not much you or the browser can do to change that - if you suspect that your location is wrongly determined, please contact ABC's support & explain the situation...
