Just looking at this for CBS Access
Why can’t I use an international credit card to purchase CBS All Access?

Our enhanced upgraded billing system no longer accepts international credit cards; only valid U.S. credit cards can be used for payment. If the system detects a non-U.S.-based credit card during a transaction attempt, an “invalid credit card” message will display on your screen. If you successfully subscribed with an international card prior to our system upgrade, you will need to update your All Access profile with a U.S. credit card, otherwise the auto-renewal attempt will fail at the end of your billing period. We apologize for any inconvenience.
I assume this will also be in place for the live feeds for next year?

I don't understand why they would deny others from enjoying their show. Oh well.

They're usually a waste of money anyway. People upload the videos of anything interesting on youtube.

If you that bothered, Use a USA VPN.

I do use a US VPN, the issue here is them blocking UK based credit cards.

That's a shame, but the three seasons I've watched seemed to be getting worse and worse so I'm not sure it's worth the livefeed investment anyway.

Just use a Virtual credit card:
https://www.entropay.com/ or http://www.usunlocked.com , for example.

I find it funny when sites force you to watch it in an unofficial free way... They are just losing money

As I doubt this will work, I'll let someone else try it first. I was subscribed to CBS archives and suddenly found myself geoblocked a few days ago. Reading the full explanation, it seems that unless the card you use starts with one of a particular set of digits that are exclusive to USA-based credit cards, it will not be accepted.

I'm not going to bother subscribing this year. There were sites streaming it last year and I got bored and didn't bother to watch the last couple of weeks feeds.

I believe that is what you get with Virtual cards. I had used a virtual card many years ago, and it worked fine, but I'm not too bothered with the US live feed - I just watch the daily episodes.
