    Its not so much blocking your location that you need to do and rather making it think you are living somewhere else. You can do this by setting up a proxy though I'm not sure how well it will work for something as bandwidth heavy as video.

    Just download the application, there is a 30 day trial with it. You can set your ip address to UK, USA or some other places. So should work with utv.
