What is Starz, and how can I watch it?

Starz is a cable and satellite provider with a massive library of popular movies and original TV. It also offers an on-demand streaming service so its viewers can access their wealth of viewing via an app across countless platforms, or directly from their website.

For viewers with a cable or satellite subscription, access to their streaming content, through their website or app, is covered at no extra charge. For those without, well, an affordable monthly subscription is all you need.

Starz holds a wide variety of TV hits and blockbuster movies, all available to stream on-demand. This exceptional network has its fair share of award-winning TV under its belt. Amongst its biggest current titles, you won’t be surprised to find such favourites as Outlander, American Gods, Black Sails and Power. You could catch a movie? How about catching Venom, Black Hawk Down or Brightburn on Starz?

Not satisfied with bingeing box sets? There’s plenty of movies and documentaries just waiting to be had, too.

You’ll regularly find movies that have just finished in the cinema appear in the Starz listings too. It’s a great second chance for those who missed them when they were first launched onto the big screen.

How can I watch Starz with StreamLocator?

By using some pretty clever, cutting-edge technology, StreamLocator makes Starz think that you’re in the USA—exactly where you need to be to access their different viewing platforms.

So, from now on, if you want to stream content from Starz that was previously blocked, we’ve got it covered.

No complicated settings or software installation required

The real beauty of StreamLocator is its simplicity. With other systems, you’d have to install software onto every device that you planned to watch their shows or movies. If there wasn’t software to download and install, there’d be a load of DNS settings to change or a new network profile to introduce.

There’s none of that with StreamLocator. And once it’s plugged in and turned on, it keeps working, seamlessly, in the background, whenever you need it.

Because our system works alongside your router, it means that any Internet-enabled device that connects through it, can use the location workaround.

That’s your Mac or PC, any Smart TV, your Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Xbox, Wii or PS4. If it accesses the Internet, there’s every chance our box will provide it with an alternative location whenever it needs one.

Our smart router works with all existing WiFi routers without affecting their speed. It won’t interfere with any of your usual online activities—or any offline activities either.

One more thing—you can connect to as many services as you need. Each time you connect a different device accessing a different service in a different country, StreamLocator manages them all seamlessly, providing a different location for every one, without a problem.

How to watch Starz from outside the USA

Many of the big names in streaming media and television use geolocation technology. It’s the standard way to prevent viewers who aren’t in the same country as them from accessing restricted content.

The most popular methods of getting around geo-blockers at the moment is to use a VPN or DNS service. If you want to watch Starz from outside the USA, you’ll need to operate a service just like those, or something very similar.

How to register for Starz from outside the USA

With your location masked and Starz seeing a US address, registration shouldn’t be any different to normal.

The main problem that users outside the US come across is that an American credit card is required to pay for their subscriptions.

Use a Starz Gift Card to free you from the US credit card issue

However, there’s a simple way to get around that. It’s quite standard with many of the providers who demand the same thing. You can buy Starz Gift Cards from many of the major online retail outlets. Your gift card can then be redeemed against your Starz subscription.

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

VPN and DNS services offer solutions to the geolocation issues brought about by many of the TV providers streaming media over the Internet.

You’ll often find one workaround service performs better than another for a specific website. It might gain access to some channels and not to others. VPN and Smart DNS have some great functions, but their providers aren’t always the most reliable option for every situation.

StreamLocator works slightly different from typical location masking methods. Because it utilises a combination of technologies, it always knows the best method for each service.

Our router communicates with the different servers to understand their requirements. Once it has what it needs, it provides the service’s servers with what they need too. The upshot is, you get seamless access to blocked TV without even knowing it was happening.

How to unblock Starz

StreamLocator makes unblocking Starz incredibly easy—wherever you are.

Once you’ve plugged in the smart router box and activated your account, the only thing you have to do is to select the STREAMLOCATOR network from your available WiFi list, and off you go.

After that, StreamLocator takes care of everything automatically. Open the app or head to the website, and everything is ready to go. How about that for simplicity?

Does StreamLocator allow me to watch Starz for free?

Sadly, nobody gets to watch any of the great TV or movies on Starz without paying for a subscription—either to a cable or satellite service or directly to their streaming set-up.
