nVidia Shield TV geo-blocking issues

by EeK09

I recently purchased an nVidia Shield TV for the sole purpose of streaming content (Netflix and HBO Now, mostly).

It was working fine with the Smart DNS service I signed up for (Borderless Internet) until yesterday, even with no routes blocked on my router (Asus RT-AC87U). Now, All I get is local Netflix and no HBO Now.

I then proceeded to block ALL suggested routes on my router, but it didn't help. A fellow redditor mentioned that "nVidia released new updates that make geo-unblocking tougher". Is that true? If so, is there anything I can do about it?

Any help is appreciated. I tested Borderless Internet's dynamic DNS servers on my laptop and they worked, so it's clearly an issue with the Shield TV.

Thanks in advance.

last nvidia shield update was over a month ago, dont use netflix but I do know on another forum lots of people are having problems with netflix and smart dns (aussie forum). I cant imagine nvidia wasting any kind of time tying to bake in geo blocking on the shield

Adfreetime working fine for me.

I had a problem with latest Netflix app, it sometimes works and sometimes I only get local content, try uninstalling Netflix updates and turn off automatic updates.

I don't use HBO so not sure about that.
