Many, many sites enable people in the US to watch tv shows online, but since I'm in Canada, they don't allow it. What in particular let's a site know that I'm not phyiscally in the US? Is there a way around it?

Connect through a proxy located in US.

There are public proxies you could use, but 1) I am not sure you can watch online television through proxy; 2) I am sure most of them are also blocked.
