If you ever tried to watch 9Now in the UK, you’ve seen a “Sorry, 9Now is only available in Australia” message. In this guide, we are going over why 9Now is not available in the UK and over how you can unblock 9Now in the UK going through all the steps, rather than just some of the steps, like some platforms do.
That way, you’ll be able to unblock shows such as The Enemy Within, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Chicago Med, Pearson, and many many of well known American and also Australian shows. And yes, with this guide, you’ll even be able to watch 9Now, live.
This is always the big question.
“Why does it just not work right away?”
Right?
Well, it goes down to rights to content.
If you look at the content 9NOW shows, you will right away come to the conclusion that most of its content is American.
If Keeping Up with the Kardashians doesn’t signal that, perhaps Chicago Med will.
The first step to getting 9Now is to make 9Now think that you are not in the UK, but Australia.
To do that, you will need to virtually change your location.
This is where VPN services come in.
VPN services serve many purposes, such as providing safety on the internet, but most people will use one for purposes like this. To unblock blocked content like the Australian Channel 9.
But if you already know what a VPN service is, then you probably already tried to watch 9Now in the UK by using a VPN.
It didn’t work, right?
That’s because it’s not enough to use a VPN.
Right now, if you search for a VPN, you will see one thing in common. Big numbers of servers.
3000 servers...5000 servers...
And that’s great on paper, but well, quantity, regardless of how phrased by a company, is not quality.
There’s a reason why PrivateVPN is able to unblock the most Netflix regions on the market, as tested by Comparitech while having several hundred servers.
If you are looking to unblock entertainment, you need to know that platforms like 9Now make efforts against VPN services. That’s because they have to. They don’t have the rights to show their content outside of Australia.
PrivateVPN is able to unblock 9Now because it focuses on quality.
But don’t take our word for it. Try it out for yourself with a 7-day trial with no need for a card. Just put in your email and password, and you are ready to go.
Once you have PrivateVPN installed, simply connect to a 9Now server, and you have unblocked 9 Now in the UK.
If you want to watch anything on 9Now, you will also need an account.
This is relatively simple, although 9Now does ask quite a ton of questions.
You will need to input your name and birthday while also mentioning your gender.
The issue? That a postcode is required.
In this case, you will need to search for an Australian postcode generator on Google.
When you’ve done that, you will need to verify your email address.
And just like that, you have a working 9Now account.
The only issue now? The app.
The 9Now app isn’t available in the UK.
When it comes to Apple devices, it’s super important you create a new account for this purpose.
The reason?
That if you just change your region on your current account, you will lose everything.
Of course, after you sign back in, you can reconnect to your old account, and 9Now will still be there.
Want to access 9Now on a big screen?
We don’t blame you.
...We also don’t blame you if you choose not to do it.
Getting a 9Now App on a smart TV isn’t an issue.
The fact that you need a VPN to make 9Now work, that’s an issue.
Most smart TVs and even platforms like Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku, do not support VPN services.
The solutions?
The first method? The quickest.
The second is the most practical as it will make it easy for you to watch all kinds of entertainment in the UK, whether it’s 9Now or something like Hulu, Hotstar, RTE Player, or DAZN.
Want to watch 9Now on your Apple TV? There is a way.
We don’t recommend it, but there is a way.
It’s to install a VPN on your router.
We have a guide on it, but we don’t recommend it. Most routers are too cheap to handle it, resulting in slow speeds. Not something that you want when accessing entertainment.
Wanted to watch 9Now in the UK? This is how you do it.
And the best thing about this?
The steps are almost identical for a ton of services out there.
Simple connect to the right server, create an account, download the app, and you are in.
Of course, some services aren’t as simple as that. The likes of Hulu, DAZN, and Disney Plus will require much more effort, but that’s where our blog comes in.
