It's quite possible because of the routing your VPN provider is pushing to the iPad. Essentially it is probably forcing all traffic from your device through the VPN tunnel. This the 'easy way' for them to ensure any application you use on your iPad goes through their VPN. Otherwise you'd have problems not all of your traffic may go over the VPN.Dolph wrote:I am having a really annoying problem with my Apple TV and wondered if anyone else has experienced the same: I use Hide My Ass VPN service and want to watch BBC iPlayer on my Apple TV via AirPlay on my iPad. IPlayer works fine on the iPad, but as soon as I try to connect to Apple TV, I get the following message: "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later". I have tried resetting the Apple TV and turn everything off and on again. No luck.
Also tried using my iPhone instead of the iPad. Still no luck.
Anyone?
Yes, this solution will work too if you have the technical know-how to pull it off. It's not hard, but if "flashing my router's firmware" scares you (some posters it will) then don't try this at homeRichleeson wrote:i bought a linksys E1200 router and flashed it with DD-WRT firmware, then i signed up to "strongVPN" to their "open VPN" package, then configured this into the linksys router, now i have 2 wireless networks, one that is my fast singapore network and one that thinks I'm in the US, so i can watch netflix through my xbox. works really well so far. bit of messing around setting it all up but once its done it done
DD-WRT is my solution as well. But I also jailbroke and rooted my AppleTV and can stream BBC or anything else directly from it. Not hard to do.Richleeson wrote:i bought a linksys E1200 router and flashed it with DD-WRT firmware, then i signed up to "strongVPN" to their "open VPN" package, then configured this into the linksys router, now i have 2 wireless networks, one that is my fast singapore network and one that thinks I'm in the US, so i can watch netflix through my xbox. works really well so far. bit of messing around setting it all up but once its done it done
I can access Nowtv just fine from my home MR internet, but I can't register for the services due to lack of a UK address. It could be a good option to the Mio TV since starhub doesn't show champions league!aquarianx wrote:Hi, can anyone tell me if teleport supports NowTV and lovefilm from UK please. Thanks.
I use SH for tv as it's handy to have the shows on, but to be truthful I don't get around to watching much. I like the convenience of having history and food channels. But I use Netflix for movies.aquarianx wrote:Thank you very much for the reply. I guess there is no need for television services if you have a good internet connection. I plan to have vonage as well that should take care of telephone.
Good tip - VQ has a service called Freedom VPN which basically changes your "location" when accessing certain sites. When using iPlayer for instance you will be seen as being in the UK and everything will work just fine. Same with the ITV player, and recently Channel 4 and Channel 5 (Demand 5) have also been added.zzm9980 wrote:3) If you an get fiber, subscribe to ViewQuest or MyRepublic for their fiber service. They do the exact same thing Unotelly does, but network wide. Basically all this means is that anything you try to connect to (Hulu in the US, iPlayer in the UK, etc) will always 'just work'.
