1424736 2016-08-21 21:45:00 I have been a huge fan of the UK Channel 4 program Time Team since it first started and have been over the last year or so rewatching them on Youtube.

Sat down last night to watch and episode and now I have been locked out by region locking from being able to. has anyone else struck this on Youtube?

1424738 2016-08-21 21:57:00 Yep, a few music videos I've tried to watch over the years are "not available in your country".

Although I just searched for Time Team and can play this one ok from August 19 www.youtube.com

What are the downsides (if any) of using Hola or any other VPN.

Occasionally I have wanted to review legit content on overseas sites during web searches, but access has been blocked.

I have been wary of using VPNs, so I usually canned the whole idea.

Billy 8-{) Usually with the free ones there's always a catch Often unreliable and can have hidden "extra's" ;)

Hola got caught red handed a while back, and it sticks.

Still blocked here, are you using a VPN?

1424744 2016-08-22 08:17:00 I can get YT Time Team videos too, no blocking. Using Firefox, no vpn.

Edit: I use Open DNS, though I can't see it would make a difference, but try using a different DNS, or flush the cache.
