if you bought the telly here you need to get it to point to the uk/us app store. you change the region by a 15 sequence on the remote.

A note of caution about TV's.
Depending on the TV brand not all will accept their being in your country of choice. For example my 2013 model LG smart 3d tv have about 25 countries stored in its region selector. When connected through my VPN enabled router which gives it a UK ip address the tv thinks it is in a basic default "other" country and does not load the relevant apps so for iPlayer use I am limited to opening it in the browser. It does not appear in the baked in apps as it would if it were a true UK model.
I understand there is a way to reset the TV to reprogram the region groups to make it an EU model as opposed to a ME&A model but I've not yet found how to achieve that.
Other than that any of the various services that can spoof your location should basically work. On a laptop usually easier than a TV.

For what it's worth, FilmOn still works fine as of last night. Combined with a Raspberry PI and an EPG add-on, it's pretty convenient (albeit you're forced to watch mid-afternoon programming in the evening, due to the time difference). My wife appears to be addicted to Tipping Point, which as far as I can tell is only one step removed from the Apocalypse.
