I would like to be able to access Netflix, Prime etc. from other countries. Other than the obvious solution of using a VPN such as Nord, are there any elegant solutions similar to what Channels does for TV channel viewing? Thanks
Nah...just use the VPN with streamlinks and PlayOn Cloud. Channels don't give you anything really but a guide (and if you have a cable login, you get TVE channels). You need to supply everything else
Thank you that does look decent. Though I wish I could find something that just allows you to use the services like you normally do. This is more for the family than me and they uses the services to surf and find things in real time.
Reelgood or Justwatch might be the thing that you need
If you have a US host to run Tailscale on, Tailscale running as an exit node (or subnet router) should work for free.
Those look very interesting indeed!
How so? Those services let you organize your TV and movie watchlists, but they don't stream actual content themselves. How would they work around georestrictions that the OP is asking about? What am I missing?
This entire thread mimics many others, and all make no sense.
Channels DVR is a linear DVR for linear content. Netflix, Prime, etc., are generally by definition on-demand. Please, don't use Channels as your hammer, and assume all consumable content are nails.
While Channels' media management and viewing options have expanded to encompass static and "on-demand" content, its actual recording/DVR capabilities are still limited to linear content.

I had only glanced at them briefly earlier. Now that I had time to look a little closer I have the same question.
