If you are a Veoh addict, and simply cannot live without it, you can actually bypass the block. One of the easiest way to bypass this block is by viewing Veoh via proxy servers located in United States. However, I'm not sure if this method can be used with VeohTV.

I recommend this site to find US proxy servers. This site provides direct list of US proxy servers so you don't have to check it manually to find where the server is located. To find your proxy server, click any detailed list (example). Select any proxy servers from the list, take notes of its ip address and port.

Below are the steps to enter proxy server configuration in Firefox (and Firefox variant) and Opera.

Firefox (and Firefox variant)
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings (in Connection) (1)
Photobucket

Select Manual Proxy Configuration (2), enter the proxy server address in (3) and the proxy server port in (4)
Photobucket

Opera
Tools > Preferences > Network > Proxy Servers (5)
Photobucket

Tick HTTP (6), enter the proxy server address in (7) and the proxy server port in (8)

Notes:
I only recommend you to enable proxy only when viewing Veoh. Do not trust any proxy server and never do logins when you surf using proxy servers. Hackers might install traffic sniffers to steal your passwords. Not all proxy servers on the given site are working. If you got error, try another proxy server from the list.

Some proxy server list sites give the address of proxy server by <ip address>:<port> format. For example, a proxy server with 128.112.139.71:3128, the address is 128.112.139.71 and the port is 3128.

Viewing websites using proxy servers can be slow especially if the proxy server is overloaded. You can download the flash video and play it offline.
