GTVHub.com

Your source for everything Google TV


We told you yesterday that Fox.com was now blocking Google TV devices from accessing full streaming episodes. Well, I decided to see if the ol’ user agent trick that once worked on Hulu.com would work here, and it appears that it does.

So, for the time being to resume watching Fox.com content on your Google TV you must bring up the browser menu, then go to “more”, and then “settings”. From there go to “advanced” (as seen above) and then “mode”, and finally change the user agent mode from “default” to “generic”.

There you have it, you may now go back to watching all of your favorite Fox shows on Google TV… that is until Fox plugs this workaround like Hulu did. Stay tuned.

One Response to User agent fix unblocks Fox on Google TV…for now

    Is it possible to change the user agent to that of say, Firefox, by using a computer as network layer over the Google TV? I am not certain if it is possible to set something up to change all user agent containing packets that leave the Google TV, that would even un-block Hulu.
