hi

we are with extend broadband, we have amazon fire tv. We use Express VPN to watch catch tv, bbc iplayer the hub etc.

This week bbc iplayer etc will not work when we connect to Express VPN, any advice would be appreciated THanks

Not many vpn are able to defeat the catch up channels these days. Many of us on here use Steamvia which at £4.99 is good value and faultless service. If you search for vpn on here you will find the same issue over and over again. I had the same with a paid for vpn hence changed to Streamvia.

There are other ways but mostly paid for services.

I use Express VPN and have just tried it with BBC iplayer and it worked fine.

Do you get a choice of different Servers or Ports to use with Express VPN?

I ask because I've never used it, and you do get a choice with some other VPNs - it could explain the difference.

Yes you get a choice, the UK one is in docklands.

Ah, I meant do you get 'a choice of different servers within the same Country', rather than 'a choice of servers in different Countries' - sorry, I didn't phrase the question very well.

Not that I'm aware of, it only comes up with docklands for UK, not tried other countries.

Thank you for the clarification!

With Express 2 years ago, yes they do have multiple servers in each country.
For instance if Docklands doesn’t work for bbc try another server location within Uk.

Not 100% but I think it’s something like click Europe-UK-Drop down box choose another location server within UK.
Any issues I always had a response within 24 hrs if not sooner from Express customer services.

Hope this helps

Thank you sticky1 - I was going to suggest changing servers if possible, but I thought that I would ask first whether there were alternative servers to which one could change...

Did that make sense?
