Change countries but apps dont work

I see that others also cannot use BBC iPlayer.  It doesn't matter if we make our location inside the UK.  It still does not work.  Yet, these threads say that the problem was solved.  If the problem is solved, perhaps let us know what the solution was.  There is no solution posted hre.  What is the purpose of the VPN?  Please help!

Hello Sage,
Let us explain this for you. There are several locations good optimized for video streaming. Please use the locations listed below to access the streaming sites:
Gotham, Miami, New York, Seattle, Wonderland.
We are here if you need further help.

That is no good.
I set my vpn to United Kingdom so I could access British content. The bbc iplayer All4 etc are supposed to think im in the UK.
That was why I got the vpn upgrade.

I changed my VPN to London United Kingdom
but the British apps BBC iplayer and all4 will show me content but not play shows.
They arent seeing my location as United Kingdom.
i upgraded to AVG VPN to be able to do that.
Do I have to do something else?

Thank you for the information.

Instead of setting to optimal location, we request you to change the location to the streaming servers and check if it works now.

Gotham, Miami, New York, Seattle, Wonderland.

Hi.

Hi Sage, 

We realize the situation. 

We would like to inform you that most of the video streaming websites block all the incoming VPN connections for security reasons. In some regions, VPN doesnt work due to the restrictions on the concerned website.

However, we have several locations good optimised for video streaming. This is why we requested you to try with the above locations. 

Thank you for your understanding in advance!

Both freeflixHQ and popcorntime accept vpn and i know people who use it with a variety of vpn providers.
it worked fine with Expressvpn when i used their free trial.

Sage, thank you for the information.

In this case, we need to escalate this case to our senior team for further analysis.

I have sent you an email, please follow the steps from the email to collect error logs from your computer and share the screenshot of the error message you receive when you try to access these websites with AVG Secure VPN enabled.

I will check the same and escalate the case to the senior team.

I'm unable to find any active subscription of AVG with this email. If you are using a different email address, please share the email address via email to locate your account.
