VPN abroad for TV

I'm in SE Asia for 5 months. I find that the VPN works with every app apart from Channel 4.
Is there a solution to solving this.

Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!

    I found channel 4 didn't work with an ad blocker  does your vpn have an ad blocker built in?  Which vpn company is it?

  • I used surfshark from Germany to watch Channel 4 - usually fine but for the last couple of weeks on android and IOS it didn't work but it did on windows. A few days ago it started to work again on them - guess it was an update
