Sean,However, there are drawbacks and plusses of VPNs vs. DNS services. The UnBlock.US service you speak of, for example, must support the site from which you wish to stream. For example, if they do not have knowledge of an Indian site for TV streaming, then you will not be able to stream content. On the other hand, VPNs may be far more complicated to set up and you must start the VPN conection before accessing the content. I just wanted to point out the advantage and disadvantage of either connection.Kind regards,Rajiv

Unblocks is a service that you can use to hide your address. You point your DNs to their server and this is all you have to do. It is about $5.00 per month USA. This is how I gain access to information on the net that blocks my IP address due to location. VPN’s will encrypt your traffic from your PC to the VPN server. Then it will route the traffic unencrypted to the destination site if it is not on the VPN. So be careful on what you want to achieve. If you want to just gain access to content from TV providers and the like. Unblocks is the way to go.
