Showtime is an American VOD channel that offers movies and TV shows like Homeland, Dexter, Weeds, Masters of Sex, and Shameless. Showtime is geoblocked outside US. Unlocator offers you a workaround to watch Showtime in UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and the rest of the world.

How To Unblock Showtime Outside US Using Unlocator Smart DNS

In order to bypass the geo-restrictions imposed by Showtime abroad, you have to hide your online location. So first of all you want to subscribe to Unlocator and follow the setup guides for your device. Once you have done so you are ready to go. Please remember to restart your device after having done the setup.

The beauty of this approach is that all other websites will still see your real location. As a result all your local streaming services will continue to work. So you get the best of both worlds.

Using Unlocator VPN to Unblock Showtime

You can also use Unlocator VPN to unblock Showtime. Once you have signed up then install one of our VPN apps for Android, iOS, Mac or Windows. When you want to watch Showtime then simply choose one of the US servers and press connect. This will make sure that all of your network traffic leaves encrypted trough our US server.
