Can I buy an Amazon Fire stick in Spain to get UK channels in Spain?
Hi,
I have broadband in my apartment, can I purchase an Amazon Fire Stick in Spain, connect it to a VPN, and get UK channels?
Or should I bring one over from the UK?

Very helpful member
You can do either, but not a bad idea to buy before you come to Spain and have set up ready. The UK one should have the apps loaded for UK TV, you need to have a UK post code for BBC iPlayer ITV Channel 4 and a username. I have heard the below VPN works well here, I have used Express and find it buffers a lot. (I also have a pro - VPN connections from Amazon Web Services, which handles high amounts of data better) Once all set up and running UK with VPN set UK should then be just plug and use.

This is good advice, I use Surfshack and get access to BBC, ITV etc. There are plenty of companies doing TV packages with all UK and Sky channels etc on sale here, superbeams is a good one with all TV and movies and box sets for 79€ a year.

Hi chris, mine from the uk works great with a vpn
Hi Chris,
I brought a firestick with me from the UK and use a VPN to access all the apps bbc, itv, channel 4 etc. I also subscribed to now TV for several months which allowed access to sky channels and movies. I cancelled the subscription when I was back in the UK.
hope this helps.

Hi Chris
Yes you can purchase one over here and then get set up very simply with somebody who will provide instructions on how to download app etc if you want all the channels.
For a good service it will only cost around 80 euros for the year.
