Is it at all possible to watch HBO Go, ESPN, FOX and other American streaming sites using a DNS in the UK? What about other content from around the world? I used to have a motorised satellite dish and as part of a hobby I used to enjoying watching TV from around the world but these days it seems to be all web based now. I am not too worried about the cost but it would be nice to get access to these sites and watch them. :) Does anyone on here have these sites?

    It is possible but you have to jump through hoops, regarding paying for them if their subscription based. You can use a service like "Un Block US" (others available) to access the content, its just paying is a pain.

    Thanks for the reply, does anyone know how to get this site to work in the UK?

    https://au.tv.yahoo.com/plus7/

    It does not require you to pay and I got a feeling that it would work with the right DNS, anyone have a solution? I tried it with Smart DNS set on a couple of different regions but it just gives an error.

    @NewGamesOfToday, absolutely. Have a look at this site and check out the reviews on the top menu. All of the services reviewed work through OverPlay's Smart DNS, and this includes a mix of US and UK FTA catch-up services.

    Plus7 is the only Australian FTA they don't currently support, but I believe that omission will be short lived.

    Could I get Plus 7 with any other service? I have been trying unotelly but i'm not having much luck. I really wanted to get this one working :(

    Edit: I got it working now with unotelly :)

    Avoid Overplay op it's a waste of time and no free trial either, try unblockus instead it's much more stabler in my experience. Also you get a 7 day free trial no card needed.
    Maybe i was just unlucky with Overplay.

    Yeah I've been using www.unblock-us.com to watch the new season of 24 on Fox, I've also used it for watching shows on abc.com too.

    I decided to drop unblockus & go with unotelly instead because they've got more channels (better for playon) & you can take out a yearly sub instead of monthly payments! :cool: ... It's been rock solid so far! :)

    Oh! .... There's nowt wrong with unblockus! :blush: ... I was with em for nearly 6 month! ... Didn't have a single problem with their dns / vpn & the customer service is top notch! :cool: ... I just wanted more channels & unotelly fits the bill perfectly! :)

    PS, I'm using as my unotelly global DNS servers! ....

    (1st) United Kingdom / (2nd) France & (3rd) Ireland is that correct? :blush:

    Not bad but smart dns tends to be faster than VPNS.

    How does the Australian Ten Player perform in the UK with UnblockUS? I tried it last night a few times with UnoTelly trying to watch Neighbours but it was not very good it was all blury where Plus 7 works great.

    Yep! :blush: I couldn't switch regions on netflix because UK isn't dynamo so I've changed my selection to Ireland & Germany (default) ... Everything works now! :)

    & that plus7 channel (like many others) ain't supported via unblockus only unotelly ATM! :(
