Unotelly
Welcome to the world of geo-blocking.
Geo-blocking is where a website enables / disables content based on your geographical location. In the example above, the US networks will not allow you to watch certain of their contents if they detected that you're accessing from outside of the US, even if you are their most loyal customer.
To bypass geo-blocking, many people have resorted to "private VPN", where they set up a "tunnel" from their home computer through a service provider to access a server based in a location of their choice, which makes them appear as if they are physically located in that country.
There are plenty of private VPN service providers around. Many of them provide VPN access to various parts of the world, e.g. Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan etc. so that no matter which country you live in, you have a chance of accessing your favourite contents at home when you are out of your home country.
But what if you don't want to just access one country? What if you want to access various countries, e.g. you live in the United States but your soon-to-be-married spouse lives in Germany and both of you are in Tahiti holidaying? You want to watch your US shows, he/she wants to watch his/her German TV shows.
Using a private VPN will only allows you to pretend to be in one country at a time. But you can't do both.
What do you do? What do you do?
That's where Unotelly comes in.
By the way, sorry for this "What do you do? What do you do?" - For some reason I kept being reminded of this line in the 1994 Keanu Reeves movie, "Speed".
The concept of Unotelly is simple: You replace your DNS with the one that Unotelly provides you (they called it UnoDNS). When you access the internet, if you are accessing a website which Unotelly recognises, it'll route your traffic via their special network of servers so that the websites you're accessing thinks you're accessing them locally. E.g. if you access the BBC site, it'll route through their server to appear that you're in the UK, but if you access a UK newspaper site, it'll go through your normal DNS servers.

Suddenly, the world is your oyster. Good eh?
There are a lot of other things that you can customise but I won't mention them all here.
One thing I WILL mention is that UnoDNS allows you to change your Netflix "home" so that you can access the right home country that you like. I found this out when I was in New Zealand. A show, "The Tyrant", appeared on the recommended shows. Upon returning to Australia, I found that the show disappeared! With UnoDNS, I was able to set my Netflix "home" to New Zealand and finished watching the show (and change the region back to Australia).
Price-wise, it's very reasonable. UnoDNS cost $4.95 for the premium plan but if you sign up for a whole year, you only pay $47.95 which is equivalent to $3.94 a month.
You should be aware that Unotelly is usable where you have an internet connection (e.g. your home). If you are out and about and accessing internet via 3G/4G networks, then it won't work.
To get it to work on 3G/4G, you'll need to use a private VPN to create that tunnel I spoke about earlier.
To make it worth your while, Unotelly has a special plan which combines UnoDNS and VPN together for a price of $7.95 a month, or $59.95 a year (which equals to $4.93 a month).
Both, IMHO, are good value.
I only have UnoDNS so I can't comment on if UnoVPN is good or bad but I can say that UnoDNS is very good and suits my needs 98% of the time.
No, they are not paying me to do this. This is just a public service announcement.
