Re: Travel Insurance for outside EU

You don't have to declare pre-existing conditions. But if you make a claim as a result of a pre-existing condition then it will be denied. So it depends on what conditions you have and whether you...

Re: best VPN for an idiot

Setup works well for me. The downside of the firestick is limited memory which cannot be expanded with an SD card. So downloading from Prime or Nexflix to view offline isn't an option.

Re: best VPN for an idiot

Gonna have to disagree with your final statement. Absolutely DNS redirection is a better solution for UK TV on whatever your chosen platform is as there is no impact on your data rate.. I use...

Re: best VPN for an idiot

Re: Has the Firestick geo changed.

Been using Teeveeing, ex TVMucho on a firestick for a number of years. Does what it says on the box. Main UK channels, no vpn/dns needed, epg, and 7 day catchup. Easy to use and decent value.

Re: UK tv

You don't need VPN to watch UK tv. Often providors like iplayer will block vpn access as 99 times out of 100 its an expat from somewhere accessing the service. An altenative, and preferable solution ...
