UK and USA on smart TV

Drambuie

After years of messing about with VPN's etc. I couldn't be bothered any longer and settled some while ago with a Netflix account.

Bored with that now😉

What recommendations for plug in Smart TV devices to receive UK/USA content?

I prefer not to have a locally provided monthly subscription?

I purchased an Amazon Firestick from the UK and plugged that into the LG Smart TV. It has NordVPN installed and I have an account with them. Most things work well and my Netflix UK account also works fine. Disney does not work. BBC iPlayer does work. Before I had this I used my notebook with the VPN to screen cast to the tv. The fire stick is much easier to work with.

Thanks Phil. I was considering somehow getting an Amazon Firestick. However I visited a store today and they suggested an app that works. As a firestick needs to be obtained in UK therefore longer timescale. I haven't done anything as yet.

Amazon are to change their OS so may not be a great idea as sideloading apps is exactly the reason they are doing so ..it's an effort to prevent their devices from using illegal apps..  if it's only netflix disney etc the. Legit paid apps should be ok. 


I use my android TV and Tivimate as my platform for live TV VOD and TV series libraries I get from my providers.... Been with them 6-7 years now very reliable and always ahead of the game

I pay for Netflix and would be willing to pay subscriptions for others. But it's not legally possible and I object to paying for an inferior product. Example being, my Netflix subscription is paid to UK in £s but I cannot get UK content.

I have a VPN, and can change my Netflix to any country I like. I also have IPTV and can watch TV from the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia, among others.


is free to use if you have a VPN.

Sounds like you need a good VPN
