Hi,

If anybody could share any knowledge it would be much appreciated -

I am English, but currently living in the Czech Republic for work. I purchased a 2nd hand PS3 off a fellow expat living over here, and have had it working for many months happily.

However, although I cannot find my localization detailed in the system settings, it appears to be registered (unsurprisingly) for use in the Czech Republic - The PSN Store is in Czech currently, etc.

I however want to get 4OD, Iplayer, etc. on the system.

Despite my console being registered to the Czech Republic, if I connect the system through a UK VPN, will I then be able to access the UK content? Or will I need to re-register somehow?

Re-registering is not something I am overly enthusiastic about doing - This account has PSN+ on it, and it is also better for me to have the store in Czech currency as it is what I am currently getting paid in.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
 
I have no doubt Im missing something glaringly obvious here - But I cant see how to log out, let alone create a new account with a different localization?

(I can see New User, but thats not much help)
 
Oops, my bad - I created the new user, but wasn't prompted for any more information so assumed it just ran on the same account.

I have no made a second user in to a UK account (strangely, I couldn't even select Czech Republic if I wanted to, so I'm not sure how I did the first time around). 4OD shows up, but gives me a localization error. iPlayer hangs at loading.

I guess a VPN running through the router will sort these issues out..
 
No worries, thanks for your help :)

My only concern now is that if I buy a router that can support access with VPN, is whether or not my Czech account will have any problems now that I will be 'in the UK'?
