    You could get a US VPN and then route all your traffic via that?

    I'm sorry, but what you're asking for here is copyright infringement.

    Microsoft lock content to regions because they have licences to distribute in some areas and not others. Therefore, if you access in this way, you're breaching those licensing rights. We can't, I'm afraid, permit discussion of how to do that on Hexus.

    I'll leave this thread open, in case anyone wants to express their views on the rights and wrongs of this, but if anyone starts discussing HOW to get round it, it'll get closed.

    There may be ways to do it, and if there are, I'm sure they aren't going to be too hard to find. But not here, I'm afraid.

    Ok sorry.

    I'll change it into a thread about how bad microsofts lack off content is in the uk. does anyone else agree with me. i think that something needs to be done about it. we need to stand up and complain.

    It's par for the course, I'm afraid. As in so many areas, we in the UK either get under-serviced or overcharged .... or both.
