What is FXNow, and how can I watch it?

FX is a Walt Disney Television network channel that supplies quality content aimed towards more modern adult viewers. It’s positioned to compete with HBO, Showtime and Starz, with original programming written around mature themes and content.

FXNow is the streaming service that provides access to all of their great content. Available through the website or selection of smartphone and tablet apps that allow you to download their content as well as stream it.

With FXNow you have access to critically acclaimed dramas, hit comedies and blockbuster Hollywood movies. What you’ll also get with the FXNow package is live streaming of FX, FXX and FXM channels.

If you’re an addict to Fargo, Legion or American Horror Story, you’ll find them all on FXNow. There are plenty of great classics too; you can watch Archer, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or How I Met Your Mother. Movie fans? There are plenty of big hitters for you too. Haven’t seen Jurassic World yet? Or Deadpool? Well, you can now.

If you’re looking for a provider for FXNow, you can choose between AT&T U-verse, Time Warner Cable, Xfinity, Verizon Fio and Charter Communications—oh, and plenty more. Otherwise, there are plenty of skinny-bundle providers offering access for much ‘skinnier’ price.

How can I watch FXNow with StreamLocator?

Watching FXNow with StreamLocator is easy. Our smart router makes FXNow think you’re in the USA, which is where you have to be to access their content. With that taken care of, all you have to do is pick what you want to watch and which device to watch it on.

No complicated settings or software installation required

Our smart hub ships when you sign up to our plan. It’s always switched on to your needs, and it doesn’t affect your Internet speeds in any way. Your usual online activity will remain exactly as it always did, except now you’ll have access to masses of previously unavailable content.

How to watch FXNow from outside the USA

A lot of the online channels use geolocation technology to block users outside America from accessing their online content. It’s not that they want to spoil your fun, but to do with viewing rights issues. If you’ve organised a VPN or Smart DNS system, then you should be able to get past their blockades—but not always.

To view the programs on FXNow, you’ll need one of those services or one just like them.

How to register for FXNow from outside the USA

To watch FXNow outside the US, you’re going to need a subscription to one of the TV services that include the channel as part of their bundle.

Sling TV’s blue plan includes FXNow and is great value at $25/month. You’ll get access to plenty of additional viewing; there are over 40 other channels included with Sling TV blue, as well as FXNow.

You could also run with DirecTV or Fubo TV. They both offer very similar packages and price points.

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

VPN and DNS services are the standard ways to get around the geolocation blockades set up by FXNow. With an alternative location in place, you’ll have all the access you need to your favourite FXNow content.

However, both VPN and DNS options each have their disadvantages. Lesser VPN services will run you through poor quality servers, resulting in much slower speeds. You might also be aware that as TV providers become more aware of each VPN or DNS system, more and more are getting blocked as part of their detection system.

The best way to stream geo-blocked TV into your home is with StreamLocator. Our system uses a combination of the best workaround technologies, communicating with each of the providers to understand precisely what they need. It does this automatically, and once it feeds your new location via the best means possible, you’ll have full access to all the great shows FXNow has to offer.

How to unblock FXNow

Unblocking FXNow isn’t a problem anymore—wherever you are in the world.

Plug your StreamLocator smart hub into any free port on your WiFi router. Fill in the few simple details required to activate your account. Switch your device over from your usual WiFi network to the new STREAMLOCATOR option, and that’s it!

You’ll have full streaming access to FXNow on your Mac, PC, smartphone or tablet.

Does StreamLocator allow me to watch FXNow for free?

Because FXNow is a paid service, you still require a subscription to one of its providers to be able to view their shows and movies. Despite being the best solution to access geo-blocked content, we’re afraid we can’t navigate the payment portals each service requires.
