VPN

I tried several, but the BBC in particular seems very good at picking them out.

So I got Freesat in the end.

We've been using StreamVPN (which was UK Expat VPN ) for just over a year, allows us to stream BBC, ITV C4 and C5 with no worries.

What issues are you having as I was watching BBC player via it until about 10 mins ago.....

We used StreamVia strictly for TV use and Nord for everything else.

I use the VPN packaged into Norton 360 Antivirus, as I don't watch UK very often, although it occasionally gets blocked by the BBC.

Effectively free, as I buy the antivirus product - though it is impressive to see the (nearly 300% last time I checked) difference between the price of the Norton autorenew option and simply buying a new subscription each year through Amazon.

I put a 1.2 M dish in when Sky messed around with the satellites a few years ago .Freesat was OK till just over a year ago when I lost Drama etc.so I got a Firestick and a VPN .About two months ago Drama etc started working on Freesat again !! But I thought it would be a goog idea to have belt and braces .

Can you get UKTV PLAY ie Drama Yeasterday & Dave?

I did 18 months ago & in Spain in October.

No problems with BBC & sky (now tv), didn't try itv/ch4.

BT sport would not work unless I tethered the fire stick to my phone for internet.

I noticed (BBC in particular) that in addition to a VPN I had to change my device time to UK time (from European).
