VPN (1 Viewer)

If you are using a 3 PAYG data sim I think you will find that you do not need a VPN to access UK TV, that has been my experience in France, Spain and Portugal.

Because you are using a UK based sim the system thinks you are in the UK.

I've found that since the change to free roaming last June if you connect via a UK SIM all channels work without a VPN.

The BBC seem to be getting good at detecting VPN's and then blocking them, I have had the same problem with different VPN's.

Try clearing the history/cache etc, turn off adblocker and keep reconnecting to the VPN, sometimes several goes needed, each time the VPN should come up with a different one.

I use Pure VPN which has various options, one of which is to stream BBC, strangely this rarely worked but I could get the BBC iplayer to work using the option for ITV.

Basically all I can suggest is keep fiddling until it works, I am presuming that Slick is a subscription service, none of the free ones that I tried in the past worked for iplayer.

Many thanks for your input.
I'll bookmark this thread, for when I'm next on a site's WiFi here in Spain, then give the VPN another bash.

Cheers for now,

Jock.
