CBC Gem is designed for Canadian residents only, but StreamLocator will help you get around that and access their free collection!
It’s simple - StreamLocator creates a virtual location for you that allows the CBC Gem servers to believe that you’re in Canada. With a virtual Canadian location, you’ll be able to access their system and all of the viewing that comes with it.
The big advantage of StreamLocator—that all of our customers love—is how easy it is to set up and access all of the geo-blocked content they want to watch.
The first big plus over other systems is that you don’t need any special software to access geo-blocked services.
That’s right—no apps, no software, no new profiles or DNS settings to install or activate, and there’s no need to remember to turn them on when you need them. Our smart hub is always on, working in the background to recognize when you need it, and when you do, it takes care of switching countries automatically.
Because it works with your WiFi router, it covers every Internet-enabled device in your household. Turn your devices over to the new STREAMLOCATOR network in your WiFi list just once, and that’s all you have to do for continuous overseas viewing for as long as you want it.
With so many ways of viewing international content these days, we wanted to make sure you could use all of them. Even the closed system options that don’t allow VPN or Smart DNS apps, are covered by StreamLocator. It doesn’t affect your download speeds, and, another truly advantageous difference between our service and that of the VPNs and Smart DNS options, is that we allow you as many connections as you want. And if they’re all in different countries? Don’t worry; it isn’t a problem for StreamLocator.
To work out where you are, CBC Gem uses a technology called geolocation tracking. What that does, in the most basic terms, is check your IP address to see which country you’re based in.
VPN systems, and Smart DNS services, deliver a virtual location from the country you need to be seen from, getting around the geo-blocks. StreamLocator creates a virtual location too, but it uses a range of different technologies. It makes our system far more efficient, easy to use, and ultra-reliable.
To create a CBC Gem account, you need to appear to be in Canada. Once you’ve got StreamLocator switching your location, not only will you be able to access CBC Gem’s content, you’ll also be able to create a CBC Gem account and watch CBC Gem from anywhere!
For quite some time, the only reliable way to break through geolocation blockades was using a VPN or Smart DNS service. They were the prime methods to supply servers with virtual locations all around the world.
Now, StreamLocator offers viewers a different way to do the same job—but we’ve made it as easy as possible to get connected, with no loss of speed to your connection, and we’re ultra-reliable where other services are getting blocked far more often and losing their connection.
Unblocking CBC Gem is easy with StreamLocator.
That’s it. Our smart hub does the rest. It communicates with the CBC Gem servers to find out which methods of connection are the most reliable and secure and chooses the best technology automatically.
CBC Gem is already free to access, with a premium subscription only functioning to remove ads. StreamLocator does not give you a premium subscription – it removes geo-blocking so that you can access the already free CBC Gem content.
StreamLocator DNS unlocks geo‑restricted shows, movies, and live sports from anywhere in the world.
There’s nothing to install — just a quick setup on your device or router.
It's the easy option - set it up on any internet-connected device, and it runs seamlessly in the background. No country switching required.
