How to unblock NOW TV outside UK and bypass geo blocking to watch Sky channels ?

NOW TV is the official online broadcast of SKY UK channels, like Sky movies, Sky sports and all others live and on-demand. To access and sign up to NOW TV you have to be a UK resident, all others countries are restricted to join this service and NOW TV account holders who travel outside UK wouldn’t be able to access their accounts even though they have paid for it.
To bypass the geo blocking of sign up page (Sorry… It is not possible to sign up to NOW TV from outside of the UK.) or the stream error if you have already an account (There was an error starting the video stream.) and watch Sky channels, you have to follow our simple tutorial to learn how to unblock NOW TV outside UK and create a free account to enjoy your favorite live and on-demand sports, movies, and entertainment videos.

2 – Unblock NOW TV using SmartDNS Solution:

DNS solution like SmartDNS is a solution to unblock streaming geoblocked sites, is not an encrypted tunnel like VPN, it allows you to use your own connection and stream media with your full speed. The DNS manually setup is changing your DNS address by another DNS address given by your provider or automaticaly using their software, like our example bellow.

  1. damn them geo restrictions. I’m not all that tech-savvy and I went searching on forums for something easy to setup and cheap-ish. Bless the keyboard of the one that gave me VPNBaron for now I can watch whatever I want wherever I want.

  2. how do you get the Credit Card UK info? Is not possible from USA credit card.

    • You can create an account from Neteller, link your card or bank to top up your account, then you can create instantly your virtual UK cards, or you can order your Plastic Mastercard.
