The Quick Guide to Unblock Apple TV Channels
- Create a free Unlocator trial
- Configure your device to use Unlocator Smart DNS or VPN
- Go to the website of Apple TV Channels or use their app if supported.
Apple TV Channels is a new streaming service that lets you access dozens of American based channels. It works by using third-party subscriptions, allowing users to sign up for services directly through Apple. You can watch content in the TV app without the need to install other apps. The selection includes channels such as CBS, Comedy Central, HBO, Showtime, BritBox, and Acorn TV. However, despite being available in one application, the channels are still subject to geo-restrictions. That means they only operate in their country of origin, which is the United States. If you want to watch Apple TV Channels abroad, you must make use of Unlocator VPN or Smart DNS.
Unblock Apple TV Channels Outside the US With Unlocator Smart DNS
No matter what channel you subscribe to, if you live outside the US, you’ll get the geo-error message that’s associated with it. For example, let’s say you’re willing to stream content on Comedy Central. Apple TV Channels will allow you to do that, but the channel won’t. This is what you get when you try to watch Comedy Central using Apple TV Channels abroad:
“This video is currently unavailable. Due to current rights and restrictions, this video is unavailable.”
Unlocator Smart DNS allows you to bypass regional restrictions and access Channels wherever you are. It reroutes the part in your internet traffic that is responsible for showcasing your current location. Once the process is done, you can stream Channels anywhere in the world. All you have to do is sign up for Unlocator and follow our setup guides according to the device you’re streaming Channels on. Finally, stream the best US channels on Apple TV Channels outside the US.
Note that Unlocator doesn’t encrypt your data while rerouting it. Therefore, you won’t witness any drop in your connection speed. Furthermore, your IP address remains intact, which means you’ll have access to your local channels even when accessing geo-restricted ones.
Watch Apple TV Channels Abroad Using Unlocator VPN
Unlocator VPN gives you the same results but follows a different approach. This one does change your IP address in order to shift your current online location. Once you connect to a VPN server in a certain country, you’ll receive an IP address in that region. As a result, the channel will take on the impression that you’re accessing its website or app from its territory, granting you full access in the process.
In Channels’ case, you need to connect to a US server and you’re done. You can now stream all the channels you choose to pay for wherever you may be. Just create an Unlocator account and install Unlocator’s VPN application on your iOS. Next, connect to a US server and launch the Apple TV Channels’ app. Finally, watch all the content you want despite living outside the United States.
