Peacock and Hulu update

So peacock and hulu finally worked. Well, for an hour at least. 2 days ago peacock’s error was “there was a problem, try again later” kinda thing. Today….after watching one episode… it’s “VPN is not allowed”. I feel like that’s even worse. I’m slowly giving up on evpn.

Confirming both Hulu and Peacock are still down for me. Discovery+, Prime are working fine still

I’m in Canada, I can actually access Peacock now (was just the loading screen before), but I try to stream anything other than trailers and it recognizes I’m on a VPN and restricts me. I’ll try a few other servers and report back, if any of them work.

Same for me, I was at least able to open the Peacock app today on my AppleTV (and noted that the quality of the picture was notably better) - so I got all excited, renewed my Peacock subscription which expired yesterday, only to get the VPN is forbidden error when I tried to actually play an episode

Now I’m probably peeved, as I basically feel like I just got scammed. I had to log in again, I even reset my password though the website, which was all fine - at no point did I get an error message in that process, nor when I renewed my subscription with a gift card though the Apple Store

Someone in my area has pointed to Playmo and said that is working for them, so I think I’m gonna try that out

I have no problems from Japan whatsoever. BUT I use the Aircove for for the last year, using a FlashRouters Netgear prior to that. Never turn it off, Never disconnected. Three years, never had a problem.

Using LA 3 if that’s relevant to any of you.

Having same problem. I’ve used express vpn for years but suddenly peacock not working. I’ve had success asking their customer service, maybe I should do that

I’ve had some success today with other services that went down the other day, so I think things are starting to get resolved. I don’t watch Hulu though so haven’t tried that one

Looks like Hulu is still down for me.

Is it working for anyone?

Hulu is working again for me!

Peacock is still down!

Yeah, I guess they are actually working on it since we finally got past the loading screen!

And we have success! This worked for me, was super easy (it literally took 5 minutes, did not have to set up my own DNS or do anything other than change my DNS number in settings) and there’s even a free 7 day trial period with no credit card required. Can’t believe I did not do this earlier

Now I just need to figure out a cheaper VPN option that works as I still need to be able to load my AppleTV gift cards into iTunes - but for our purposes that’s it

What location are you using?

Might you be willing to PM which server you’re using, as well? :blush:

I’m also in Japan and am using LA 3, peacock isn’t working for me. It says “sorry, you cannot use Peacock with a VPN.

I just contacted support a couple of minutes ago regarding Hulu not working and they told me it’s a known issue that they’re working on. Literally all the shows I’m currently watching are in there unfortunately…

They will just tell you it is down and they are working on it

It’s frustrating, I totally understand! Is playmo’s free trial unlimited data? I’m temporarily using windscribe, but it’s limited data so i’m being stingy with it. (Not ideal for binge watching).

you can now set up a VPN on your Apple TV by grabbing the public beta and signing up for Flow VPN using my link: Sign up – Get Unlimited VPN | Flow VPN - Global VPN / eSIM / AI Chat Bot - Free Trial
