If BBC iPlayer isn’t working on your Amazon Fire TV Stick while you’re using a VPN, this video shows a simple and effective fix that often resolves playback and location errors in just a few minutes.
Problems like “this content is not available in your location” or endless loading screens are common when using a VPN, but in many cases they can be solved without changing devices or reinstalling apps.
In this video, I show you step by step how to install NordVPN on an Amazon Fire TV Stick and connect to a UK server, making it possible to access geo-restricted content such as BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and Channel 4 when you’re outside the UK. The guide is designed to be easy to follow, even if you’ve never used a VPN or changed network settings on a Fire TV device before.
Building on the previous video where I explained what a VPN is and how it works in simple terms, this video focuses on the practical side: getting everything set up and working on a real device. I walk through downloading the NordVPN app from the Amazon Appstore, signing in, choosing the correct server location, and checking that your connection is active before launching your streaming apps.

At the start of 2026, Spanish viewers switching on their televisions noticed a familiar name missing from the TDT lineup. Paramount Network, previously known as Paramount Channel, officially ended its free-to-air broadcasts in Spain, closing a chapter that had lasted more than a decade.

So what exactly was Paramount Channel in Spain, and why did it disappear from TDT?

For nearly 40 years, Trans World Sport quietly did something no other sports programme bothered to try: it proved that sport didn’t have to involve billion-pound TV rights, endless pundit panels, or the same six football teams on repeat. Instead, it travelled the globe in search of competition wherever people felt the urge to race, wrestle, throw, slide, ride, or occasionally chase cheese down a hill.
In a major escalation of the fight against digital piracy, UK authorities have begun directly contacting individuals who have used illegal streaming services to watch premium sports content from Sky and TNT Sports without paying for legitimate subscriptions.
For decades, one of the most peculiar rules in world football has been the UK’s Saturday 3 pm live-TV blackout — an outage so entrenched it’s become part of the nation’s footballing culture. But now, for the first time in history, the Premier League and the English Football League (EFL) are holding talks that could see this rule scrapped as early as the next broadcast rights cycle.
The draw for the FA Cup third round marks the moment when Premier League clubs enter the world’s most famous domestic cup competition, and with it comes the annual question: how can fans watch all the action on TV? For the 2025/26 season, UK viewers will see a noticeable shift in broadcast coverage compared with recent years.
