    If that service really only works by only providing different DNS servers, then the questions is: does the browser access the webpage by DNS name? Does your siteutil in Onlinevideos do so too? Or are you using the IP directly? If you are also using the DNS name, it would be interesting to know on what IP the DNS resolves in Onlinevideos (you can write a quick logline for it) and to what it resolves from windows command prompt.

    offbyone; the browser is not set to use a proxy by itself. The DNS switch has been implemented on my main router. Everything on my network should be using the same DNS servers.

    I guess the confusing part is how is it working in my browser?

    I tried to follow the network traffic when watching a show on hgtv.ca and got the same URL from theplatform.com which was geolocked.

    I am out of ideas. Sorry.

    Maybe can help Wireshark logs from browser and from OV. I assume that there will be some differencies between browser requests and OV requests.

    Only thing I could think of would be IPv6 - if your network your ISP and the site you're accessing supports it, then they go around the DNS resolution from IPv4.

    Well, thanks anyways everyone.

    This is pretty well beyond my skills and if you people are stumped I don't stand a chance.

    I'll check back for any upcoming updates to OV to see if my results are any different.
