I noticed issues starting in August
did it work out? I’m having the exact same problem, same set up as well…
In my case the US Netflix is not working with Express VPN in the Apple TV
Nope. Still down. I also have another provider - Smartdnsproxy and their DNS is working. So is DNS4ME. This is another ExpressVPN issue that they won’t fix as their service has gone to shite in recent months/years regarding their DNS service.
PS report it to ExpressVPN. They’ll say try to use their other DNS no. along with some other basic (useless) troubleshooting which doesn’t work. So tell them to report it up the line to their L2/L3 to fix it.
How do you know you aren’t getting US Netflix? If you search for a movie called “Airstrike” with Bruce Willis in it then you know you have US Netflix. Maybe sign out of Netflix, delete the app, reboot your Apple TV and redownload the app and sign back in?
oh man thanks for the tips, just reported it - bummer
Thanks, you are right I have the US catalogue but HBOMax still not working.
Same here. Someone said that they rebooted their router and it fixed the HBO Max issue. I would try that but it’s a pain as I have an Orbi Mesh network and when I do reboot some of the devices connect to the furthest satellite. Anyway, if you want to reboot your router to see if it fixes the issue?
I did it many times and still not working. I think is related with their servers, the only way to watch is through SmartDNSProxy. Let’s see in the following days.
Yeah, I thought that a reboot of the router would fix it as being strange. Luckily, I know when it’s a fault at ExpressVPN’s end as I have Smartdnsproxy and DNS4ME on “backup” and they both have HBOMax running fine. But they don’t have US Netflix. Strangely, when I test HBO Max using ExpressVPN’s iOS app on my iPhone with the HBO Max app on my iPhone it works, so the issue is DNS/Mediastreamer related. Also, BBC iplayer was buggy on the Apple TV4K using ExpressVPN’s Mediastreamer DNS but it appears to be improved/working now. Peacock, US Netflix, US Prime all working. All 4 is not however and hasn’t been working with Mediastreamer DNS for months on Mediastreamer DNS.
Hey! HBOmax is back in MediaStreamer. Express vpn sent me a message to confirm.
Good to know, yes their priority is the VPN. As I am in Switzerland Netflix catalog is good that’s why SmartDNSProxy become my first option to cover Mediastreamer DNS. I tested again MediaStreamer last week and I saw an enhancement in the service, unfortunately HBOMax is down this week so is not consistent. I hope they will fix it soon, becuase ExpressVPN servir is so good
Well, what do you know, it is as I checked it just there. Take my up vote. Pity they couldn’t tell me that!!! Thanks
Seems to be gone again? Can you please check yours?
EDIT: just very slow loading the profile it seems.
Yes, it’s gone still charging. Are you testing with the one finishing with 1 or 2?
Nice while it lasted! Would you mind emailing whoever emailed you to tell you it was fixed and tell them it’s gone again please?
Yes, I sent an email. It’s working now but slow
This is annoying to honest!
I have 2 other providers I use for “backup” - Uflix which is a sister company of smartdnsproxy and another provider called DNS4ME.net which HBO Max works fine with along with “All 4”. However, US Netflix does not work with either provider.
