    You will need to subscribe to a VPN service , something like "Unblock US" or similar , Whichever one you use , they will give you IP settings.

    Once you have those , follow instructions to enter them on the smart tv , the instructions will be something like the following ,

    Obviously , these streaming services dont like you doing this , so be prepared to lose all or part of your VPN subscription costs if the device manufacturer does something via firmware to stop you bypassing regional blocks.

    Also note the warnings in the above link , Samsung have already blocked regional bypasses on some devices based on the model numbers as these are slightly different for different countries , so if you do go down the VPN route , go for one with a trial period to see if it works first.

    Take a look at Overplay Smart DNS - I use this on my router so all devices connecting to the internet through it can utilise Netflix in US (or any other location) with a simple website selection. I find this much easier than messing around with a VPN, and it's also very cheap.
