LoveFilm is a popular movie streaming site in The UK. Though Netflix has entered The UK market recently, there are still plenty of LoveFilm fans. They offer a different set of movies and TV than Netflix, and if not just because of habit, many UK users are happy to have a local UK company provide their streaming content. Though a non-local would probably choose the American version of Netflix as an on demand streaming movie service because of the amount of new releases and broad range of content available, there are many British movie fans that are trying to access LoveFilm outside The UK. This is possible with a bit of software.

This software is called a VPN. This will allow you to change the IP of your phone or computer. If you want to access LoveFilm outside The UK on Xbox, PS3, or internet TV then you'll have to invest in a bit of hardware called a VPN router, or connect to a VPN on your computer and hook up your console/TV to your laptop. This is a bit complicated, but with a bit of experimenting and some YouTube videos is possible.

Most people are going to find it more convenient to just use a tablet, smartphone, or laptop to unblock LoveFilm Instant. Though you won't be able to actually send the DVDs to your overseas location, you will be able to access on Demand streaming without getting blocked by IP filters on the site.

First, you need to find a VPN service that has VPN servers in The UK. For most services, The UK and The US are default locations, so this won't be a problem. Other features to look out for would be unlimited bandwidth, unlimited server switching,and good customer support reviews. Customer support is more important that you might think, because VPN servers can have technical issues, or you may find that some programs you install may affect the VPN performance. Unless you enjoy tinkering with this type of thing, having a support member help you out is much more convenient than trying to figure out things by yourself.

Once you've signed up for a VPN service and signed in to the UK VPN server, you'll be able to access LoveFilm outside The UK just like you were back home. The VPN connection change your IP and makes it seem like you're surfing the internet in The UK. Whether you're overseas for a long or short period of time, having a subscription to a VPN service can keep you in contact with UK internet culture online
