Thanks. Nord VPN was one that I tried, also I PrivateVPN. As with Express they all worked intermittently and whilst the helpdesks were always helpful in suggesting alternate servers it was always a struggle. Getting normal terrestrial UK TV was never a issue, just iPlayer.

I think the Beeb are very active in closing down VPN's, like you I struggled with a consistent service.

I use Express VPN and so long as it is connected via UK it worked fine.
Hi,
I was just googling "best VPN's for iPlayer access" and Express came top of the list on Techradar. They did say Express had iPlayer access problems at the end of last year, which was around the time I had it loaded. I might give them a try again.
AItch.

Hi,
can I ass, do you get Prime TV with amazon.es? We have Amazon UK which includes Prime TV but they have again started blocking most content outside of the UK. It's £79 per annum in the UK and without the TV it is not worth it, especially as most products on Amazon can now be found c...

Hi Aitch
The simple answer is yes. We changed from UK prime to Spanish Prime when we moved full time to Spain.
It is so much cheaper than the UK version at around 40€ for the year getting the prime deliveries and tv.
Cheers

I have no faith in Amazon at all. Last year while in Spain I ordered a fold up wooden picnic table. It cost around 40 euro and it never arrived. It was not sent to my Dublin address either. I tried writing to report it but never got a reply. I'm a bit nervous to buy ...

...anything on Amazon now.
Same here, when the item arrived it was a fake. Never ordered anything from Amazon since and never will.

I love Amazon.es. I have Prime and get almost everything delivered to the lockers in Zenia Boulevard:
Amazon Locker - monico, ccZenia Boulevard, Cl. Jade S/N, Orihuela, Alicante 03189.
If an item can't be delivered to the locker it comes to my address with additional delivery instructions (leave it at the door etc) and they pick up any returns within 48 hours. The drivers get used to where you live.
Prime tv is ok for me as I don't watch anything regularly, loads of stuff in English you can't get weekly UK soaps but there are loads of English 'box sets'.

Hi,
I've done the same with vpn's. I have tried several but I've never found one that allows you to access the popular sites, Netflix, iPlayer, etc, consistently, they all require playing around with different servers at different times. Express was the best but they still had problems ...

...with iPlayer,
I might trial a vpn whilst we are over and see if the situation has improved.
Rgds,

NordVPN is excellent I get all the iPlayer- all4 - My5 itv hub etc on my 4K fire stick.

Amazon Hub Lockers
Are the different size on Amazon Hub Lockers?
I want to order items but not all would deliver to Amazon Matilda (Ciudad Quesada).
Could it be because size of item I want to buy?
If there are different size witch are the biggest in Torrevieja?
