Post by: Paublo on September 02, 2020, 14:02.

Taught I would share this. Their is a new iptv app on amazon firestick called strix. Worth downloading. If you search YouTube it has good tutorials on set up and code needed. Forgot to mention it's a free app

Has this stick been tried in Spain ? Sounds interesting but channels like the BBC on iPlayer block Spanish IP addresses, I even tried Norton's VPN with the British VPN servers selected and was still blocked.

BBC iPlayer is waging a war on VPNs.  Very difficult to access.

Whilst i personally would defund the bbc i do support them stopping people using vpns to view uk taxpayer funded material.

They say it´s about broadcasting rights, ie they have only paid performers and copyright owners for programmes to be shown in the UK.

You used to be able to buy Sling Shot boxes so if you had a  broadband router in the UK and another in your house in Spain you could use your UK router to request say iPlayer and relay it to your Spanish router.

Just tried iPlayer using ExpressVPN.  Seems to be working for now.

This is working at the moment without a vpn.

When you search for a vpn comparison on line it's amazing how many list 'unlocks BBC iplayer' as a selling point.

I tried a free 24 hour trial with https://iptvbit.com/  it worked well with no buffering with ot a vpn. A lot of providers offer free trials to see what their service is like.
