I'm in Sweden and I'm trying to watch Channel 4 via a UK server. Doesn't work. BBC works

I’m using the NordVPN app on my Apple TV, and I can watch BBC Iplayer no problem, but whenever I’m trying to watch Channel 4 it just says it’s not available in my region. Any ideas? I’ve tried a few different servers, same issue. I’ve tried changing region too.

(there was no flair for tvOS…)

The Channel 4 app seems to use the time zone of your device to determine your location. Change the time zone on your Apple TV to be London/GMT. It’s a hack but it works for me (using NordVPN SmartDNS but presumably also for the VPN).

Keep refreshing the VPN server, to get a different IP address. You may have to close the Ch 4 app each time you do so.

Close channel 4 app, refresh/change server, reopen channel 4 app.

This is unique to Channel 4, and it only started happening recently.

Changing timezone to London fixes this issue.

NordVPN is not useful anymore. Their IPs get blacklisted everywhere

that actually worked for me.

Thank you for sharing!

This also worked for me using appleTV

Months later, but thank you so much, this solved it!

This worked for me trying to watch Dave on the U app. Thank you. I seem to have watched every panel and game show full episode available on YouTube.
