Default UK TV Viewing Question

Hi
I would like to watch a tv show that’s on ch4 in the uk
‘New live in the sun’
Noticed it’s available on ch4 on demand online.
What’s the best option for me to use/access ch4 on demand in Canada.
I have an iPad Pro and chromecast (no laptop)
All help appreciated

I don’t think you’ll get it on iPad Pro. You’d require an Adobe product and Apple will have nothing to do with Adobe. Goes back to Steve Jobs time. He believed Adobe was a much inferior product.
You will need a laptop (a PC and not an Apple product) and a VPN. I have used them both to watch HOMELAND on Channel 4.

So do I. Try watching Channel 4. I doubt very much it will work on your iPad. It has not been adapted for that format. Same with Channel 5.

Sorry I missed your comment saying Channel 4. If that’s so I concede to your better knowledge.

So Ch4 can’t be viewed on an iPad as I as I kind of hoping I could maybe use the CH4 IOS app and use a VPN but wasn’t sure if that is possible using an iPad

I just found this link -
http://apps.channel4.com/app/download-on-all-4/

Actually C4 can be viewed on an Ipad but it is a convoluted process. You will need access to a UK apple account to download the UK C4 App. And a VPN that has an APP - think TunnelBear, I'm sure others have Apps as well.

Was just trying this very work around when you replied so great minds think alike 😉
So I have downloaded the ch4 from the uk App Store and using a free VPN also from the App Store I have managed to get ch4 to work on the iPad 👍
Now just need to figure out how to mirror/send this to my Samsung tv so I can watch it on tv
Not sure using my chromecast will work as I think it has its own Canadian IP address but not too sure
Any help welcome on how to now view it directly on my tv from the iPad
