Yes, they work in Spain. Many thousands can attest to it!

They do of course need setting up properly with a VPN etc.

Buy the 4K Max, it's significantly faster than the 4K and for a fiver more well worth it.

If you need a VPN i can recommend Surfshark, having previously used NORD for 8 years i went over to Surfshark earlier this year, great easy to use VPN, at the moment you can pick it up at the introductory price of £48.72 for 26 month subscription though i think there is VAT on that its still a great price.

There are free VPNs but these always seem to have some sort of limitation built in.

Deal can be found at the below link.

As Darro says !! 

I have recently returned from my Spanish abode. My 4k FireStick worked perfectly. 

2nd thing i did was download a VPN and set it to UK.

Hi. Thank you for all the advice. What is the best firestick to buy from amazon in the uk that will enable me to get a range of English channels quickly and simply. I am not very computer literate. I would need it for a TV. Not a laptop.

The firestick plugs directly into the back of the TV.

If you are unsure or confused by it all, I would ask around for your local Satellite TV person to come and install it for you. Pay for someone to take to hassle away, they will also probably show you how it all works ect also.

Mine is powered from the electric mains hence the plug

Yes your fire stick will work if you have a subscription if not it needs jail breaking, I see people all the time talking about TV MUCHO 8.00e a month you can get better IPTV with way way more content. VPN not always needed you try first. Any questions feel free to ask
