    Can get itvhub, uktv play, c4 etc but cannot get BBC iplayer on Firestick 4K. I am only using VPN on firestick so perhaps BBC detect non-UK IP address when signing up for an account with them?
    Anyone got any suggestions for a workaround?
    TIA

    Install VPN on phone, activate it, sign up for account then.

    Thanks, tried that and used different email account to sign up but still no joy. Even deleted and reinstalled BBC iPlayer on Firestick but got a message when I opened the reinstalled app to the effect that BBC retain certain data on their servers so perhaps they had retained some details on Firestick??

    Managed to get this working on a 4K firestick, after a bit of too and fro with support.

    Download this APK to an android device, then send the saved file to the firestick using this app, easy fire tools.

    Once installed its easy to toggle between UK and USA for BBC iPlayer and Netflix.

    Ah Christ, it's much easier than that. Google firestick and unlimitedvpn and it gives you instructions to install directly onto firestick. Very easy.

    Yes, followed to the letter, was getting " package appears to be corrupt" when i tried to install it.

    I have seen a few other people with similar issues so said i would post what worked for me in case its needed in future.

    This is where I got the APK from. Which Fire Stick are you using? New-ish?

    At present yes, but went down for some time, maybe BBC realized the same IP address had multiple users and VPN unlimited changed it since.

    Does this work on Samsung TVs ?

    Can this be set up on modem? have a samsung Smart TV but cant find any info for running a VPN on it

    The SmartDNS product from KeepSolid was working perfectly on my Samsung SmartTV for the first few days (i.e. US Netflix OK & no restrictions on Amazon Prime). Recently however Netflix has noticed I'm running a proxy and demands removal.

    I asked their tech support and they recommend installing the VPN on the TV. I can't find the appropriate .apk to install so they then recommended using the SmartDNS product on the modem. I haven't tried this yet but plan to soon.

    If anyone finds a solution to installing this VPN on a SamsungTV, please post. :)

    It's a game of cat and mouse with iPlayer and the VPNs. The iPlayer will eventually block the VPN IP addresses. Then after a few days the VPN will change its IP address and it will work until iPlayer blocks that again.

    Would someone mind giving me a dummies guide to downloading the actual app. I can use the iplayer in a browser with VPN but how do i get the app?

    Unless you mean the BBC Iplayer app? in which case it wasnt available through the app store even if you use the VPN.

    Just google BBC Iplayer APK download and there is a site there with an extensive version list of the app, download and install it and bobs your uncle.

    Sorry. My mistake. I'm using the Smart DNS not the VPN.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,305 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    Im useless at these things...well at least until tells me or shows me. But how do you change the location or country? Im assuming that a UK server would have to be used to access the iplayer but how do you change it or does it need changing at all. Its currently showing Dusseldorf

    When you open the app, if you click down to Dusseldorf, it will populate a drop down menu, scroll to the bottom and you'll select iPlayer.

    And to avoid a lot of scrolling in the future in case of more than one IPs used frequently, add them to favourites, so they'll appear on top of the list - I have done so with both iplayer and netflix. Easier. :)

    Yes the special offer includes 5 devices.

    You can only remove 1 device a week as well to add a new one. Even if you have 4 slots free, you have to wait a week before removing a device now. You can add all 5 today if you wanted however.

    Can I just confirm if this is till the best VPN deal people have seen and are using? $39 dollars for a lifetime for 5 devices.
    I have a Media Box(Movie streaming)/Smart TV(UK iPlayers)/Phone/and laptop that I'd like on VPN.

    Ya it was awkward to do it. The instructions keep solid gave to do it didn't work. The link they gave for download was incorrect. Quick Google search and I found the proper link.

    Got it working thanks. Already had a version installed that wasn't compatible. Uninstall and followed instructions.

    Surprised at how smooth the likes of Netflix works with it! Seamless
