MY5 UK TV Viewing Help
Hello looking for some help / advice on how I can watch my5 / channel 5 on demand on my TV in Canada i have managed to watch / use it on my iPad but it will not mirror to my Apple TV ( only the audio will mirror no picture ) i can use a VPN on my iPad but on my Apple TV not sure if this will work and we also use rural TELUS internet so not easy to add a VPN to our home router and I am not sure a VPN will even solve the issue with the MY5 viewing. Maybe there is another option to use MY5 in Canada that I am not aware of so any advice would be appreciated thanks |

I use a DNS hider for all my ATVs and use the MY5 app on the ATV

Re: MY5 UK TV Viewing Help
Easiest option would be just to get a PC for your living room. You can connect it to your TV with HDMI, then just connect to the VPN on your PC and browse the My5 website with a web browser.
Alternatively, you could connect a PC/Laptop to your router with a regular LAN cable, connect to the VPN, then use Windows Connection Sharing to share the VPN connection over a WiFi hotspot and have the apple TV and your phone both connect to that. I've known people to sometimes have issues with this though (sometimes the site will realize you're using a VPN this way). Final option would be to buy a powerful router that can connect to the VPN. |

I didn't say I use a VPN. I don't make any changes to my router.

yep the laptop maybe a good option think I pickup a cheap laptop and try connect it directly to my tv and see if that works thanks I got one for $99 (mail order from Infotech in Toronto) with far better specs than I'd have got in a laptop for that low a price. It was W7 but we took the still free upgrade to W10. |

Today I had a play around with the tv and using express VPN service I was able to manually set my DNS on my Apple TV box and then login into iTunes using my old uk login. I downloaded the BBC i player APP and that seems to work also downloaded the MY5 app unfortunately it will not play when I choose a tv show. Not sure if it’s the DNS I am using that’s not compatible with MY5 or something else my head starting to hurt lol |
