You are comparing apples and oranges. I have no idea what unblock-us can and can't proxy but the website might use a different CDN, different meta-data source and so on. Same with the App.
It might be a device issue, but it could be related to geo-locking. Maybe a a UK based user can confirm whether it works on their Apple TV with XBMC, as I don't have that hardware to test.
Usually a VPN should work better than a proxy type service. Also for example I know that the BBC Live streams are geolocked on at the CDN level. When I'm out of the country I use a VPN.
