Why you cannot watch Bachelor in Paradise in the UK

• Streaming bundles like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, and DIRECTV STREAM all require a U.S. ZIP code at sign up.
• Most services enforce U.S. billing requirements. Cards or PayPal accounts issued outside the U.S. are usually rejected.
• Apps sometimes check GPS or Wi-Fi location in addition to IP address, especially on mobile devices.
