Watch/Unblock TVPlayer abroad via Smart DNS Proxies
When you try to stream any channel via TVPlayer outside the UK, you’ll get this message “Sorry! You must be located in the United Kingdom to watch tv on TVPlayer.” This happens because TVPlayer simply looks at your IP address and is able to detect your location abroad. Since TVPlayer is not available overseas, you need to trick it into believing you’re located in the UK. Smart DNS makes this possible by masking your real location.
Smart DNS allows you to access geoblocked content from the UK and other countries simultaneously. Therefore, you can unblock TVPlayer and US Netflix at the same time.
Smart DNS works on all your streaming devices. Watch TVPlayer on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Kindle Fire.
No Internet speed loss means you’ll be able to watch high-quality video using Smart DNS.
Access to your local sites won’t be affected since Smart DNS doesn’t alter your local IP address.
ISP policies like DNS Hijacking and Transparent Proxies can cripple Smart DNS. Not many ISPs actually use these methods but it would be better to check out yours doesn’t before you use Smart DNS.
Try Unlocator’s free 7-day trial if you want to watch TVPlayer for free. They do have 167 unblocked channels including TVPlayer and tutorial/videos to guide you through the whole setup process.
Watch/Unblock TVPlayer outside the UK via VPN
VPN is another method to unblock TVPlayer overseas. VPN sends all your traffic to a VPN server located in the UK. As a result, you’ll get a UK IP address. This process will slow down your Internet speed by about 10%.
VPN is easy to install on PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android. VPN providers usually provide you with apps that make the installation simple.
If you want to use VPN to unblock streaming channels on devices other than those mentioned above, VPN needs to be set up on a compatible router first.
A UK VPN server gives you the ability to stream all British Internet channels including TVPlayer, UK Netflix, BBC iPlayer, itv Player, and Now TV.
No worries about ISP’s DNS Hijacking or Transparent Proxies. VPN is totally immune against both.
ExpressVPN do offer VPN apps for PC/Mac, iPhone/iPad, and Android. If you want to use VPN, give them a try. They do have a 30-day money back guaranteed policy.

Watching through browser with a VPN is no problem. The app does check location so that does not work.
I have a Roku 3600 stick set up with a U.K. account and have the Tvplayer app downloaded.
I run the app through a SmartDNS via router with Getflix
However, every time I select a channel to watch it comes up with a message ‘Stream request could not be verified, if the error persists please contact support’
Any ideas how to get it to work? Getflix are scratching their heads!
Hello!
TV Player have a TV app and then I didn’t have to stream it from my PC.
But then I just need to change the IP adresse in my TV, and how am I gonna do this?
I just tried with my VPN can IT worked, I can finally stream the free channels.
But I would like to subscribe, but then it says “Sorry, TVPlayer Plus is currently only available in the United Kingdom” and yes I’m using my VPN from UK.
I also tried some free proxy online, but still doesn’t work.
Do you know what I can do to solve this problem?

This no longer works as tvplayer uses gps which is sent down the DNS pipe

Hi Thomas. You can try Unlocator instead as I’ve used it to subscribe and it worked fine.
Hi Thomas. In order to change IP address on Smart TV, you have to setup VPN on your router.
