Re: VPN for BBC iplayer
If you're using chrome, there's an extension called Wachee VPN. It works with iPlayer like charm.

"DASH manifest failed" and unable to download. Has anyone overcome this?? Cheers |

Historically it's nonsense and full of revisionist and woke mumbo jumbo but as a drama it was superb. Avoid their new adaptation of the War of the World's - utter shite |
Re: VPN for BBC iplayer
I'm using Transponder TV, no need for vpn. I like it, althoug hit can be a bit buggy at times, but you can record and watch later.
It comes out of Oz I think. https://www.transponder.tv/guide |

Looks okay but kind of expensive - especially when all of that content is free to stream with a tiny bit of effort

A lot of effort if your not network savvy.

Happening to many VPNs not just for iplayer but for others such as US tv websites that let you watch on catchup. Lifetime is one but using Hoxx set to USA it's currently working for me here. ABC is another.

If you use Firefox you can install an add-on called Hoxx VPN Proxy. It's free and has not let me down yet.

Re: VPN for BBC iplayer
I had a go with Hoxx today. iPlay still identified me as not being in the UK :(

Re: VPN for BBC iplayer
Hey all,
I know this is the old thread but didnt find the relevant thread to post my query. I am having the same issue since week as I have recently moved to NZ for my research purpose and here I feel like missing my home country channels. I tried to use proxy but didnt got the relevant one. Anybody from UK or a UK expat kindly tell me how to watch the UK channels like BT sporst and BBC and TV shows. SO is there any other alternatives in this concern please do let me know. Like which VPN should I use for my concern. Thanks in advance |
Re: VPN for BBC iplayer
I gave SmartDNS a try and it has been working very well 99% of the time.
When I tested their VPN service its performance was appalling, but you don't need that to be able to watch iPlayer, etc., just SmartDNS on its own is fine. I plan on giving the VPN another test soon, but I still have a subscription with Private Internet Access for my VPN needs. |
