What is History Channel, and how can I watch it?

History Channel is an American television network broadcasting history-themed shows and reality TV. 

If you're intrigued by the most unbelievable prison breaks or the world’s strangest unsolved mysteries, History Channel may be an excellent option for you! 

Examples of popular History Channel shows include:

  • Pawn Stars - The most famous out of their catalogue. The family-run Gold & Silver Pawn Shop staff appraise strange historical artifacts and haggle with customers. 
  • The Curse of Oak Island - Two adult brothers search for long-lost treasure on a Nova Scotian island that has captured treasure hunters’ imaginations for 200 years. 
  • Ancient Aliens - Part history, part sci fi, Ancient Aliens has been controversial for its central theory – that aliens have existed on Earth this whole time.

You can access History Channel via the app or the website using StreamLocator DNS. Otherwise, the History Channel app and website will be blocked in your country.

Downloading the app is free, but full access requires a login from a US TV streaming provider. Only a limited number of shows are available without a paid subscription.

Philo is the most affordable option at $28/month, offering access to History Channel, A&E, Lifetime, Discovery, AMC, and more.

Some other options include DirecTV Stream and Hulu + Live TV.

How to watch History Channel from outside the USA

To watch History Channel from outside the USA, you'll need to change your virtual location. Otherwise, you’ll be blocked from accessing it.

StreamLocator DNS changes your virtual location to the USA, so you can watch History Channel as easily as if you were living there!

How to register for History Channel from outside the US

To register for History Channel, set up StreamLocator on your device and go to the History Channel website or app. Follow the sign-up instructions, and you’ll have access to the restricted selection. 

Next, sign up for a paid subscription for Philo, Sling TV, Hulu+Live TV, DirecTV Stream, or any streaming service that offers access to History Channel.

You can log into History Channel using your new credentials from any of the services above, unlocking its entire collection!

Do you need a VPN or DNS to watch History Channel?

Yes, you will need a VPN or DNS to watch History Channel. Although History Channel is available on cable TV in many countries worldwide, the streaming website and app are only available in the US. 

A DNS (also known as SmartDNS), is considered the more advanced solution. Although both are good options, VPNs cause slower internet speeds and lag, while SmartDNS has no effect on internet speed whatsoever. As well, unlike DNS, VPNs require you to switch your country every time you access a new streaming service.

Does StreamLocator allow me to watch History Channel for free? 

No, you’ll still have to pay for a subscription. StreamLocator doesn’t provide free access to paid streaming services—it removes geo-restrictions so you can sign up, sit back, and stream!
