Firestick Channel 4 app with vpn: 4001 stream geo blocked

I live in France and have a firestick with the Channel 4 app but it won’t let me watch it - error: 4001 stream-geo blocked.

The vpn isn’t the issue as I can connect to channel 4 live stream via the website on all of my devices. Also, I have IPlayer, ITV player etc. on the firestick and they all work just fine. My Amazon account region is set to the UK and the Time zone in the firestick is also set to the UK.

I can’t figure out why the Channel 4 app on the firestick is blocked. Any ideas?

Hi change the timezone on your fire stick to the UK

Hi, just letting you know you are still solving this 6 months later.THANK YOU!

Fixed mine too! And BBC iPlayer!

Try clearing channel 4 app cache. I tried a combination of force stopping the app, clearing cache and reinstalling, and something worked
