More and more media is being made available on line every day:

StreamVPN provides a one stop directory of dozens of online TV websites. Please note some of the services also require a separate subscription.

A) Use a Cable

Use an HDMI cable from you computer to the back of the TV.

We are often asked if there are alternatives to using a cable to hook up your PC/Mac or Mobile Device to your TV to watch your favourite programs from home. Well now there is!

B) Cast your device

If you have a streamer or smart TV you can use both Windows and Android devices to "cast" you display to the TV. All devices need to be on the same network. This is also possible with iOS and Mac but not as easy.

C) VPN Router

A VPN Router will give you a local internet connection in your home country via WiFi throughout your home. We collaborate with Invizbox, which is a fantastic high spec router at very affordable price. Or you can choose to use any VPN router that supports Open VPN such as Sabai Technology, Flash Routers or any other provider. This gives you the ability to extend the IP location, to access IP restricted content and websites using any device within your household, including Smart TV, Games Consoles, Roku, and Apple TV. In summary, VPN wireless routers utilises your StreamVPN service to create a home VPN network.

D) DD-WRT Router

DD-WRT is an open source project aimed at developing a Linux based firmware solution that removes the restrictions placed on routers by their default programming. Installing DD-WRT on your router gives it the full functionality of a business grade router, but without the cost, including the ability to add a VPN configuration and therefore enable it to be a VPN gateway.

Flashing’ is the process of changing or upgrading the firmware (built in programming) of a hardware device. Not all routers can be flashed with DD-WRT, but there is an increasingly long list of ones that can, with models by Linksys, Buffalo Technology and Belkin so prominent they have started to include DD-WRT as the default firmware on some of their models. A full list of DD-WRT compatible models is available from the official DD-WRT website.

We support DD-WRT with a download of the open VPN Configuration (OVPN File).

This is quite technical and we would strongly recommend purchasing a preinstalled DD-WRT or the Sabai Router detailed above which has developed their own user friendly version.

E) Amazon Fire TV, Stick and Cube.

We have an app developed exclusively for use on Amazon devices.

The Fire stick connects to your TV via the HDMI port, and our free App is available from the Amazon store. The App is easily downloaded to your Fire stick, in just a matter of seconds.

Our Amazon Fire VPN App offers the easiest and most cost effective solution to watching your home country TV..... from wherever you are in the world. You can see more details at Amazon Fire

F) Roku

One of the best devices to use is a Roku. It is a Streaming Player with it's own channel selection that can connect your TV to your wireless (Wi-Fi) network at home. Using the router and streamer together with our VPN service will deliver on-line content from over 400 channels. Best of all it has a very good screen mirror option, so you can mirror the screen from say a PC with the VPN connected to your TV.

Since bandwidth isn't free, the free services cover their costs by serving you advertisements; that means that when you are visiting web pages, you'll see extra advertising inserted into the web pages you're viewing. This can be very invasive to your viewing enjoyment.

When you subscribe to StreamVPN, yes you pay a monthly subscription but you can access any available content advertisement free and with no distractions or annoyances.
