Below is a list of LEGAL video, movies and TV streaming options in New Zealand. Some are free, free with adverts, others require registration and some are paid content (or a mix).

Note that these are LEGAL options only. If you have suggestions or changes to report please send me a PM and I will add/remove/change here. Note that just because a site charges for content doesn't automatically make it legal. Also not listed are legal sites that require geo-restrictions being disabled to work in New Zealand.

 

The following services are available as add-on subscriptions on Amazon Prime Video:

 

  • beIN Sports
  • CrunchyRoll
  • DocPlay
  • Hayu
  • wonder
  • Lionsgate+
  • Love Nature
  • MGM+
  • Mubi
  • OutTV
  • PlayKids
  • Rialto
  • Stingray
  • The Great Courses

Wow, many more than I thought. Looking at the list, none of these require a geo-unblocking/circumventing their terms, correct?

It would be super handy if it was in a table and indicated which were free, and which were paid. But I'm grateful as is.

EDIT: I believe we're truly entering a Golden Age of 'television', especially in NZ at the moment. But I'm not sure how long the market can financially sustain this many entrants.

freitasm: @djshadow is Acorn TV available without any DNS or proxy changes?

 

Looking at their FAQ, I'd say it needs VPN/DNS.  But the article says its rolling out to NZ....

This list is only services available in New Zealand without any changes/DNS/proxy so I will add when available, not before.

Good point. The service may have been retired. Removed from the list now.
