TV Show Menu - There is no content in your area - Unblock-US DNS

[a_team]

Hi:

I've been experiencing an issue with Boxee's TV Show menu where it appears empty with "There is no content available in your area." I live in Canada and use Unblock-US DNS Re-route. I will deactivate the DNS and the TV Show menu works again - except I loose all American Content.

When the DNS is on, Netflix and Pandora works and gives me american content, it's only the BOXEE TV Show menu that gets FUBAR. It's been Hit n' Miss for the last few weeks, but for the last 4 day's it's been purely Hit.

Other people have this issue, see this forum:

What seems to have solved it for me is that in the UnBlock-US Settings you can select where you want your DNS routed from. It was set to US by default, but I selected "Canada" then went back to "US" - then everything worked again.

I did 4 - Cold Restarts and it's also worked for the last 4 days.

Hope this helps someone out there

A big thanks for following up with a possible solution!

How'd you change the country, I can't seem to find the setting section for it?
Thanks!

Click the "How To Setup" link:

and you'll see
"Your service is set up for Netflix"*Dropdown Box Selection*

I guess I should've worded it better

wow... I don't know how I never paid attention to that section... so would the UK version work even though Boxee hasn't released the UK app?

I don't know... I was thinking the same about Brazil, but I'm afraid to try it. I'm just glad the US content works again.

I'll let you give it a go... Good Luck! ** Maniacal Laugh, Maniacal Laugh, Maniacal Laugh**
