The broadcast from Eurovision Song Contest, and lots of other material available on SVT is only available to those located in Sweden, so if you are located outside Sweden you will see an error message such as the one above.. The way to get rid of this error message is to make SVT believe that you are actually located Sweden, and the way to do that, is to sign up for the VPN services of the VPN provider HideMyAss, a brilliant way to get a Swedish IP address within seconds, and for you to be able to watch svtplay.se and all the content there online from wherever you might be located in the world.<br \/>\n<span class='mb-center maxbutton-1-center'><span class='maxbutton-1-container mb-container'><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-hidemyass\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/visithidemyass\" data-maxbuttoncounter=\"{&quot;button_id&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/bit.ly\\\/visithidemyass&quot;,&quot;check&quot;:&quot;E0G5jWpz&quot;}\" data-maxbuttonpage=\"{&quot;id&quot;:23,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;post&quot;}\"><span class='mb-text' >Visit HideMyAss website<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\nClick the button above and visit the HideMyAss website, and get ready to watch the action from the Eurovision and all other action on SVT online in a few minutes from now.<\/p>\n<h2>Other useful links<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siggiblog.com\/sweden\/\">Get a Swedish IP address<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siggiblog.com\/honest-hidemyass-review\/\">HideMyAss review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viennawien.net\/practical-stuff\/concert-venues\/stadthalle\">Stadthalle in Vienna<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight is the night when the action will start and you can watch the Eurovision Song Contest and its first&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-programs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
