Either use VPN or Smart DNS proxies.

How to Watch SyFy outside USA with VPN

“The media cannot be played.” If you have come across that error while trying to watch any TV show episode on SyFy, chances are that you’re currently outside the USA. The SyFy channel, just like any other VOD service, checks your location by looking at your IP address. In case you don’t have an American IP address, you won’t be able to stream any content that is exclusively available in the United States. So, how can you get a US IP address while living in Canada, UK, Australia or elsewhere overseas? The answer is VPN. Here’s how you can change your IP address and appear to be browsing the web from the US.

1. First of all, you have to sign up with a VPN provider that has VPN servers in the USA.
2. Once that is done, download and install the VPN application on your PC, Mac, Android, or iOS device.
3. Next, launch the VPN app and connect to an American VPN server.
4. Your real IP address is now hidden and you can browse the web as if your were in the United States.

In terms of best VPN services you can use to spoof your online location and encrypt all of your Internet traffic, ExpressVPN is right there at the top. They even have a 30-day refund policy. Here are our favorite VPN service providers as of 2017.
