Android TV Box - does it work abroad ? ? ?

[BigBooga]

Hi,

Currently in Saudi Arabia and our digital TV provider decided to cut all "western" sport.
So no more golf, rugby, cycling, darts etc.

Looking at other alternatives.

Would a tv box with DSTV now work here in Saudi. Would use my parents subscription to login.

Thanks in advance for your help

Not out the box and by default, DStv limits you to using DStv now from within the country (SA) only.. Though, I believe that there are exemptions for SA made channels..

VPN?

DSTV is also a "western" ideology?

Polymathic......havent been able to find good VPN with SA server.

WaxLyrical........not sure what you getting at?

Only if you can find a way to make it look like you are connecting from SA.. Which I am pretty sure DStv would frown upon, considering that they are all about chasing and prosecuting pirates..

I have heard of people VPN'ing into SA with DSTV Now.

For everything else sports related there are numerous IPTV "providers".

Getflix and SmartDNSProxy both offer VPN services - Getflix's is included in the base price and I'm assuming the same applies for SmartDNSProxy since they're the same company. I see there is a JNB VPN server which should work. I'm sure they both offer a free trial - though I'm not sure that includes the VPN.
