How to watch ABC from outside the USA

Online streaming services are bound by programming rights issues that vary from country to country. Because of that, the providers use geolocation tracking to pinpoint where their online viewers are. If they’re not in the right location—the United States in ABC’s case—then their viewing gets blocked.

The most common way to get around the blockade is to use a VPN or Smart DNS service and provide a fake location.

How to register for ABC from outside the USA

Registration is easy. ABC offer customers to view thousands of hours worth of content free without signing up for an ABC account. They also have the option for customers who wish to watch their content for free to sign up for an account so your viewing experience is linked across all your devices.

Newer content or live channels requires you to have a cable TV subscription linked to your account. Streaming services like Direct TV Stream, Hulu, Sling TV and FuboTV can be used for this so if you already have an account with them linking is very easy.

Do you need a VPN or DNS to watch ABC from outside the USA?

You’ll need some kind of geolocation workaround to provide a US location. Without one, you won’t be able to watch ABC via its apps or website.

VPN and Smart DNS are the most accepted ways; however, they’ll provide mixed results depending on which one you choose. The TV providers are becoming wise to the many different fixes and developing more ways to cut them from the system.

Some VPN’s will provide really slow connections; depending on which servers they use to piggyback your programming.

StreamLocator works using a combination of technologies, so it always knows the best way to connect you. It makes all the calculations for you so you can concentrate on what to watch, and enjoy your viewing.

If you want a sure-fire way to provide a suitable location, every time, with no loss in service, there’s only one choice.

How to unblock ABC

With your StreamLocator smart hub, getting past the geolocation blockades is simple. Just plug it into any free port on your WiFi router, and follow the few simple steps to activate your account.

Once that’s sorted, use your new STREAMLOCATOR network to connect your device to the WiFi. And that’s it. ABC is yours to enjoy.
