Re: Streaming video - my experience

Which DNS redirect are you using?

I need to get Britbox for my parents so that they can access loads of UK content on demand from a single app - I don't want to complicate things for them by...

Re: Streaming video - my experience

Anyone use Britbox in Australia? Any tips on what hardware/apps to use for watching on a tv, how to subscribe to make the most of the service (apparently some forms of signing-up limit your options),...

Re: Streaming video - my experience

These companies tend to have DNS servers in many countries, but that's just so that you use something close to your location.

The question is whether they can provide various Netflix regions. On...

Nice setup there. :)

I only have the good ol' Apple TV and Chromecast at my disposal, so my options are limited. I would like to access German Netflix somehow as it seems to be the only region...

Are you able to watch any of these (apart from Netflix/SBS) on your tv using some sort of set-top box?

What happens when you try to use your Prime subscription overseas to watch videos? Can you at least watch Amazon's own original content?

Re: Streaming video - my experience

I've been recommended a new Telstra TV box for this -apparently even the remote has a dedicated Netflix button!

Does anyone use one of these?

Re: Streaming video - my experience

Two quick questions for the technically-able:

1. Which device do your recommend for BBC (iPlayer) + ITV + C4 + C5 apps which would work in Australia?

Putting Prime aside for a moment, is it still possible to see the UK store and prices in GBP?

Re: Streaming video - my experience

Does Amazon Prime work in the same way as Netflix, where it makes no difference via which country you sign up as you always get the content according to your location?

Isn't NBN-lite attributed mainly to his predecessor, the one whose specially-shaped and enlarged ears probably supplement the Echelon surveillance network? :)

Are you using the new 4K Amazon Fire TV? And just some DNS-based service to get around the geoblock?
