Watch NBC on Apple TV abroad

Are you in the mood for The Blacklist, Timeless, The Voice, This Is Us and more NBC TV series? Want to watch them on your Apple TV abroad?

You have probably noticed it already that you can not watch and enjoy the NBC app on your Apple TV as you travel outside the USA. The same is true if you try to use the CBS application, the HBO Now application or other streaming applications as well. The reason is simple: You can not watch NBC on Apple TV abroad!

The reason for this is a so-called geographical block or a ban. NBC only wants to broadcast their content to people actually located in the United States and the same is true for CBS, HBO Now and Hulu. So, what can you do if you want to watch NBC on Apple TV abroad? It is really simple!
