Try insulting them on Facebook. I did that several years ago in regards to
wanting to be able to purchase HBO on-line without having to subscribe to it
through a cable operator and shortly after, they launched a service to do just
that.
(No, I’m not convinced that my insulting them on facebook had a causal effect,
but it’s at least an amusing thought).

Geolocate and VPN or Not are often kind of tied to the same kinds of reporting
services and it may well be that whatever provider HBO is using for one is also
being used for the other.
