We use overplay.net. It costs $5 USD per month.

But live TV buffers (quite badly at times). 

Catch-up TV works well, as does Amazon TV. Netflix is unreliable.

Our Firestick is linked to our UK Amazon Prime account.

Hi Kelvin. Thanks for your reply. I do not have Amazon prime nor do I have internet in the U.K. however I will look at overplay.

net. I think what I need is a V.P.N. but having looked at the web sites it looks difficult to change all the settings etc unless you are a computer wiz,which I am not. Once again thanks for your reply

Hi Charlie, I’ve found the best way is to download smart iptv from the amazon store, it costs a one off fee of around €5 and then buy a subscription from eBay, there are guides for setting up on YouTube

I am interested in buying one from you, but you mention sports channels. Which ones are they and I’d like to know if you get sky sports?
