If you want flexibility in your streaming service, Sky's Now TV is a great choice. With a variety of "passes" that allow you to adjust your subscription and pay only for what you need and not for what you don't need, it is an attractive alternative to traditional satellite TV. If you live outside the UK, you may be wondering how to get Now TV in your area.

Now TV's lineup is truly impressive. Chernobyl, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Wire, Flight of the Conchords, and Parks and Rec. The list of programs offered really goes on and on. But perhaps most appealing to movie fans is that it boasts an arguably better selection of movies than Amazon Prime or Netflix. Sky Sports is also available, but this comes at a hefty price.

That's all well and good, but if you are outside the UK, you won't have access to Now TV. So here's how to watch Now TV wherever you are in the world.

If you are in the UK, watching Now TV couldn't be easier.

At home, if you've paid for Now TV, simply open the app on your smart TV or streaming device, make sure you're signed in, and you're ready to watch.

If you want to stream on your PC, simply visit the Now TV website and sign in. You will then be able to watch Now TV in your browser just as you would on a TV. On mobile, you can also download the Now TV app and stream on the go.

If you don't have a Now TV subscription, you can take advantage of a 7-day free trial on most paths.

However, you will need access to a UK credit card and address to do this.

If you are outside the UK, things are a little different.

Like many streaming sites, Now TV is not available outside the UK. You can access the website, but the streaming functionality is not available. However, we have a handy workaround that can change all that.

If you have already paid for Now TV and are outside the UK, the most efficient way to access it is to change your location using the best VPN. All you need to do is select a VPN server in the UK and head to the Now TV website as if you were at home. Then sign in with your details and start watching.

Our top recommendation is ExpressVPN, thanks to its super simple and powerful app, excellent unblocking capabilities, and plethora of server locations worldwide.

So, for example, if you are in France visiting family or on business, you will not be able to watch Now TV despite having paid for it. But with ExpressVPN, you can choose a server in the UK and effectively relocate.

You can then log in with your details from the website and access everything Now TV has to offer.

If you are a UK resident (or at least have a UK credit card), you can sign up for Now TV from anywhere in the world.

All you need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your location to the UK, and head to the Now TV website as usual. Then enter your UK credit card information and start watching.

Unfortunately, however, if you do not have a UK credit card, you will not be able to access all of Now TV's programming this way, even if you change your location using a VPN.

If you have never registered with Now TV and have a UK credit card, you can take advantage of Now TV's 7-day free trial.

You will need to enter your payment information, but you will not be charged until the trial ends. If you do not wish to continue, simply cancel.

You can do this even if you are abroad, but you still need a UK credit card; just activate your VPN, select a server in the UK, and head to the Now TV website. Then you can sign up and sign up for a free trial just as you would if you were in the country, and you will be able to watch.

The Now TV app is available on the Amazon Appstore, and all you need to do is download it and sign in with the relevant credentials.

Additionally, since the Fire Stick is Android-based, it also supports VPNs. If you want to watch Now TV on your Fire Stick outside the UK, check out our guide to the best Fire Stick VPN services available.

If you have a Now TV subscription, you can also watch it on Roku; just add the Now TV channel to your Roku device and enter your subscription information. [It is also worth noting that the now-discontinued Now TV Box was manufactured by Roku, so there is excellent compatibility no matter which Roku-branded device you use.

However, if you wish to use a VPN to watch Now TV on a Roku outside the UK, you will need to install a router VPN. This is because the Roku device itself does not support VPN. It's a little more complicated than on a desktop or smartphone, but our top choice ExpressVPN is super easy with a dedicated router app and clear tutorials.

The first and most important reason to use a VPN with Now TV is to be able to access paid content anywhere in the world. So no matter where you are in Europe, the US, or anywhere else, you can connect to our UK servers and log into Now TV as if you were in your living room.

And that's not all. If you have a good Internet connection but Now TV is buffering or playing in low quality, you may be suffering from network throttling.

This occurs when your ISP detects high bandwidth usage of your connection and intentionally reduces the speed to ensure that everyone gets similar speeds. High bandwidth usage includes torrenting, gaming, and of course streaming HD content.

VPNs anonymize the intended use of your connection, so the provider does not know that you are streaming. As a result, the provider cannot slow down your connection.

So if you want to watch Now TV abroad, but also want to protect your personal information, a secure VPN is the perfect solution.
