Re: Iplayer
Not sure what you are asking? But my DNS are set in my router and all my devices unless manually over ridden by me benefit from the DNS services provided. My connection with DNS delivers a consistent 575-600 mbps download speed which is ample to service all devices and 4k oled TV streaming UHD and HDR movies and tv from netflix and amazon perfectly.
I simply want to to be able to switch channels on the big TV from the the comfort of my sofa with just a mouse, no other intervention required. Laptops and tablets are not a concern for me, I can kick those through as needs be.
Thought projection is on my wishlist.

Well just use a Firestick inserted into an HDMI on your T.V and just pop the smart DNS setting direct on Firestick......simple and the simplest remote....even by click or voice command.

Re: Iplayer
Can someone give me a reason why a VPN is better than a Smart DNS, apart from the fact that some of them are free.
I have used both and for simple things like getting into geoblocked sites, DNS is very simple and can be installed directly onto various devices whereas a VPN is very limited - you cannot install it on most routers and very few devices. It also slows down your Internet connection, in some cases very significantly - especially if you have something below 5mb.
