UK and USA on smart TV by Drambuie
After years of messing about with VPN's etc. I couldn't be bothered any longer and settled some while ago with a Netflix account. Bored with that now😉What recommendations for plug in Smart TV devices to receive UK/USA content? I prefer not ...
The telcos won't give you their pass code. So you simply purchase a seperate router as a slave and plug that into the telcos router. Ensure you can obtain the slave admin password beforehand . I did that for years previously and have now reinstated ... Read More

Car insurance by phildraper
I have the renewal in from Abbeygate. Is it worth calling Top Quotes, Status etc. or are they all much the same?
Two cars here :-One with GAN direct. Who I have found to be cheaper if you can be bothered to play with their online quote system. Always agree to the auto renewal for extra discount. However always remember to cancel before renewal time and then ... Read More

I know of many that have brought vehicles from UK. I did myself many years ago but would never do so again. Is it really worth all the effort? There are countless vehicles for sale here at what I consider reasonable prices. Condition obviously ... Read More

I did have this set up previously using a seperate VPN modem all worked fine other than occasionally needing to make changes to receive BBC. Then I changed suppliers and went onto fiber. I had re connected the auxiliary modem to the new system but ... Read More

I bit the bullet and signed with Nordvpn. It's bringing in Netflix UK/USA perfectly on my phone. Now have to setup my LG televisions which think they are in Cyprus via Cablenet. It's already been a long day since before dawn. So will save that ... Read More

@SimCityAT I have now looked at cyberghost and am pretty certain It was tried and refunded but not 100% certain as I have used various over the years. As you recommend I might give it a go. But on your head be it 😃 Read More

I got fed up with various VPNs being blacklisted by BBC. They lasted a short while then "poof" 😃 The suggestion yesterday of an app to use seems on investigation not worthwhile. So back to square one. Think I might cancel Netflix and go back ... Read More

Thanks Phil. I was considering somehow getting an Amazon Firestick. However I visited a store today and they suggested an app that works. As a firestick needs to be obtained in UK therefore longer timescale. I haven't done anything as yet. Read More
