There are quite a few threads on VPN, including one from just a few days ago:

Overplay.net has 60 odd countries, but VPNs are out of vogue. It's SmartDNS services that are much faster and easier to use.
Speaking about SmartDNS, I have been using unlocator.com with my FireTV stick for Amazon US, worked great (daily) for the past 6 months since I have it. I haven't tried PBS but they say it works too.
They have a free trial (no credit card needed) which I also used first. After that it's $4.95/month - or around $4/month if you pay annually like I did.PBS is available in the US only, but Unlocator removes geographical blocks and makes the service available anywhere in the World.
Do me a favor and sign up with my affiliate link if you want to try it (sorry for the shameless plug), I may one day get some free renewal if you do so.
