June 28, 2024 - I won't contradict anything that the reporter said in his article. However, I will say that at least one trustworthy Tech channel host has heavily criticized Nord VPN for various reasons. You can do a search for comments about that particular brand of VPN. Regarding VPNs in general, it has been reported that they are being hacked with increasing regularity, causing problems for their customers. Further, in regards to viewing U.K. TV content outside that country. I can testify that the U.K. is very aggressive in identifying VPNs and blocking them. I pay a U.K. based service an annual fee to watch not only U.K. channels but many others. I won't give their name here, but if searched for, the first letter in the service's name is F. Please keep in mind that the service has a number of paid subscription alternatives. My suggestion over all, is to do your own research regarding VPNs. I believe that Tom's in past months has published an article rating a good number of VPNs.

I can certainly reach iPlayer using a VPN.

What I can't do is buy a valid license so far as I can tell since I live in the USA. A valid license is required to sign into the service from what I can tell by trying it.

What do I do about that?

July 2, 2024 - I'm not sure what service you are referring to when you say "A valid license is required to sign into the service from what I can tell by trying it." All I can tell you is I have used a service based in the U.K. for a number of years, it is legal, and I live in the U.S. I don't think that this newsletter will allow me to give the name of the service, because that would be like advertising. All I can suggest is that you do a granular search for paid subscription Internet TV services based in the U.K. As a clue I can say that the company's name which is another word for movie, starts with the letter F and ends with the domain .tv I hope this helps you, but I found the service via online search and you should be able to find it also. Good luck and stay well.

I mentioned the service in the first line. iPlayer. A VPN will get you past the restriction of connecting from outside the UK, but trying to play the programs I'm interested in requires a TV license. The information required to purchase this license assumes you live in the UK.

I'll first have to figure out what service you are using before I can see if that same restriction applies.

Most people I know just sign up for Acorn or BritBox which gets them the shows they are after and doesn't require this fine dance.

OK, can't figure out what service you might be using, but it turns out I can lie about having a TV license and the web site plays a show. Not sure I like the idea though.

Perhaps I will stumble across F*.tv at some point.

I would be extremely careful using any "shady" and questionable websites or "services". You could already have compromised your computer or device. If you have gone to any of those websites, I would suggest that you immediately do a security scan of your system and/or device. Further, the name of service I am talking about starts with an f followed by five other letters, no capitals + .com. I can only suggest that you do a search for Alki David. On his Wiki bio page under Business. You will see “David’s projects include:” The first business listed is the one you are interested in, but when you do the search for the service there are no capital letters in the name and .com is the domain to be added to the name. I hope this helps, but it would be inconvenient to be band from this forum, if I were to say more. I have no idea why you mentioned certain U.K. streaming services. The company I am talking about is like an internet “Carrier” that offers a number of channels, but not its own content. Once again good luck, and stay well.

July 2, 2024 - P.S. Please forgive my earlier error of saying the domain for the service in question was .tv It is actually as I just indicated .com. Sorry for the error and I hope this helps. 😊

No worries. VPN is installed on a virtual machine that I always reset to initial conditions ( Snapshot ) after every use. None of the sites I was looking at were shady in any way. All known services.

July 2, 2024 - Well done you!👍👍😉 You must know by now that I'm a huge anglophile. Soooo.. taking the plunge, at the risk of being banded here. The service that you are looking for which has three different subscription plans, is filmon.com. I hope this is helpful to you... Those that dare.. win! Maybe😁
