How to watch UKTV Play from outside the UK

Unfortunately, UKTV Play uses geolocation technology to demand its viewers are located in the UK. This annoying issue is due to programming rights. We don’t think this should stop you from watching their shows though, wherever you are.

VPN and Smart DNS can help viewers get around the geo-blocks, providing virtual locations just as StreamLocator does, but our system offers so much more.

How to register for UKTV Play from outside the UK

Is UKTV Play free? Yes, but the service requires viewers to register before they can access its shows. You will need an active email address, yet with StreamLocator covering the location blocks, it’s no different to registering as though you were in the UK.

Do you need a VPN or DNS to watch UKTV Play from outside the UK?

How do I get UKTV Play on my TV? Well, VPN and Smart DNS are the most popular ways to get around streaming channels’ location blockades. They are both intelligent systems that have given viewers access to blocked content for years.

However, providers are getting savvier to these systems and finding new ways to spot them and block them. That’s where StreamLocator is a step ahead. Our hub finds out precisely what each server needs before choosing how to get around the blocks. It supplies the information required to acquire access without you even knowing it’s doing it.
