Smart DNS services: start with your TV and channel

A two-part compatibility check

Confirm the device and the streaming service separately. A provider may document your television while not supporting the channel you want. Conversely, a channel on its website does not mean every device uses the same setup. Save the current instructions before changing settings.

The services in this directory

Unlocator offers Smart DNS alongside a separate VPN product. Its support article explains the difference between the two. Read our Unlocator review before choosing a bundle.

StrongDNS publishes service and setup pages. Some documentation concerns older equipment, so seek confirmation for a current model. Our StrongDNS review explains that limitation and the broken historical affiliate route.

Older names need a fresh check

The previous site recommended Unblock-Us and linked to an old sign-up route. We could not verify those destinations during this rebuild. They are no longer presented as a current purchase recommendation. A reachable page or remembered brand is not enough to establish that a service accepts and supports new customers.

Keep a way to undo the setup

Note the original DNS settings, change one device first and check ordinary browsing as well as the intended channel. Restore the original configuration if the result is unreliable. If the network controls DNS for you, ask the network owner before changing router settings.

For encrypted traffic routing instead, use the VPN directory and read Smart DNS vs VPN.
