Geoblocked services with a VPN.

Given that the release of the new Chromecast will result in many enquiring about various streaming services are available outside their area. If those services need a login, a vpn, are available on the play store outside the country of origin or on apkmirror, what language they offer and what content, live local TV, movies or TV shows. And on what devices it is confirmed working. I'm only talking about legitimate services often by national broadcasters and that might be welcome to ex pats.

For example I know that my Netflix subscription with a VPN allows me to access content for other Netflix catalogs. (I'm outside the US so I can with a VPN access 'the west wing' which isn't available through Netflix at home.

Peacock from NBC is a free service with movies and TV shows, that with a VPN set to the states and a free account and an apk from apkmirror allows me access to their free content outside the US. (Tested on Nvidia shield pro 2019 and CCwGTV)

So what I had in mind was that people post info on the apps they know work outside where they were designed for? And what hoops you need to go through to get it working.

If you have access to a service like this and are willing to help please provide information about it and if you can extract the apk and submit it to apkmirror that would be awesome.

TG4 is a Irish language broadcaster that offers their live channel, without the use of a VPN or login, app can be installed from the play store (at least in the UK). Catch-up doesn't seem to be working but I can access the live channel. Tested on Nvidia shield pro 2019 and CCwGTV.

Rté player is the Irish national broadcasters app, TV shows are available. The app is not well regarded and your mileage may vary. I'm able to use the catch-up without a VPN from the UK. Login is promoted but not mandatory, the app I found (I can't remember where from) is an older version works on both Nvidia shield pro and CCwGTV.

Edit it's an old version that I found on xda, I'm not going to link as I don't know how legit it is.
