Hulu, Apple TV+, HBO Max and Paramount+ haven't got their broadcasting licence from the RTÜK yet, thus they don't operate in Turkey. The others you've mentioned do operate in Turkey.

I'll be adding much more media resources, so:

TRT İzle - The official streaming platform by the TRT, the national broadcaster of Turkey. On-demand content require you an account in order to be watched, live streams for sport channels are always geoblocked. TRT1 is geoblocked only when sport events are broadcast. TRT2 is geoblocked outside of Turkey most of the time. TRT Belgesel also gets geoblocked from time to time.

As far as I know, private channels broadcasting "dizi" and content of foreign origin are generally geoblocked to users outside Turkey, or they will broadcast the channels intended for Turks abroad, mainly Europe.

Thank you for the correction, I fixed the original post. Just to double check, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime are all ok?

Does using VPN solve the geoblocking issues for TRT İzle?

Yes, they're all okay.

I'm completely unsure about it. I don't use a Turkish VPN since I'm already in Turkey. All of these are my experiences while using VPNs from other countries meanwhile in Turkey.
