"Sorry this video is not available, in your territory"

Hi! I just found out about this site, and wanted to try it out.
When I tried to watch episode 1 of Eden of the East, it said "Sorry, this video is not available in your territory".
I live in England, if that helps.
So are the videos, unavailable in England, or is the site having problems?

Videos are locked to North America, as that is the region in which FUNimation holds the rights to Eden of the East, and other shows on the website. There are ways around this, but legally, you'll have to find what company holds the streaming rights to the show in England, and hope they are hosting the episodes.

I think I should just buy it on Blu-Ray, if that's the case.

That'd probably be easier, though I can't remember if EotE was one of FUNi's Region A/B releases, or if it's locked to A only. And I do recommend the show, for what it's worth.

The only venue to watch FUNimation shows in the UK is YouTube, however I do not believe FUNimation even holds UK rights for EotE.
The UK licensee is Manga, but they do not currently have a streaming service although they di have some titles on iTunes, Netflix and the Sony Entertainment Network etc.
Their EotE discs can be found for less than a tenner if you shop around, for the DVDs at least.
