No, do NOT download Hola. And if its installed on your machine, remove it. Here's why: Adios, Hola! - Why you should immediately uninstall Hola , scroll down a bit to see the reasons why not.

Keep us informed, if Unotelly proves reliable I will switch from Unblockus as I'm only getting ITV/BBC through them now not all Netflix

BBC no longer works via Unblockus for us. It knows we are not in the UK. So with that Netflix choices gone it's very boring

UNblockus works very well for me on my iPad and PC. As a matter of fact it is working even better over the past few weeks. I can get BBC, ITV and Channels 4 & 5 and more. Most times I want to watch any of these I go to UNblockUs and, although it's set for UK I tap the update button. That, so far, does the trick.
Good Luck.

You mean the Netflix location setting on Unblockus?

I'll have a look, it was ok on Thursday and yesterday the screen just said we weren't in the uk so hop pit. Or words to that effect. I have emailed Unblockus so will see what they say.

For those UK sites and players mentioned you actually don't need to update the location at all when you are using unblockus. I am currently using it and it is set to Netflix region Canada (as it doesn't work for Netflix anymore) but all devices and apple tvs allow the UK players without any issue. Just do an refresh of the IP DNS setting on the unblockus page if you occasionally come across issue, I did last night as I had flipped back and to from using another VPN during a download.

Unlocator is still working very well. Maybe sign up for their 7 day free trial?:fingerscrossed::thumbsup: What do guys think about the coming BBC Iplayer changes with the license fee implementation from 2017 onwards

Unotelly still fine here as well...Unblockus seems to be non operational with the Netflix so we have switched our subscription over to Unotelly.

Overplay, we have used this for probably the last 3 years. Still reliable, no complaints.

The home page after you have logged in

fyi I have just given notice to stop unblockus, not because the BBC etc isn't working as it is ok, just poor information and communication following their failure with Netflix.
With only have the service working, I will let the month run out and move over to either Overplay or Unotelly

Yeah, kinda sucks for us as we had paid the yearly sub with unblockus in january, so technically we still have it all year, but now i'm going to do the monthly sub for unotelly, just in case it breaks then we aren't committed all year. Unblockus isn't really cooperating or fixing much :(
