I HAVE BEEN USING VPN TO ACCESS TV PROGRAMS IN EUROPE FROM. THE US. IT WORKED GREAT FOR YEARS. NOW SUDDENLY I GET A MESSAGE “THAT PROGRAM IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY” MEANING IT DETECTED THE US AS MY COUNTRY. ANYBODY FAMILIAR WITH THIS AND HAS A SOLUTION?

First, you should not post in all caps. It is considered to be yelling in internet communications.
Many web sites do not allow access from known VPN IP addresses. They do this for copyright, legal, security, and political reasons. There is nothing a VPN provider can or should do to circumvent these legal protections. See this How to Geeks article. https://www.howtogeek.com/403771/why-do-some-websites-block-vpns/ The sites you had been using seem to have recently implemented this VPN blocking.

Thank you for your reply. It looks like they detected or banned one VPN provider. I signed up with another VPN and they don't block it (can watch program). Question: can they block individual VPN's or do they may detect somehow the actual place of the PC?

It may only be a matter of time before they add the IP addresses of your new VPN provider to their block list. I'm not sure they know which provider uses which IP's.
