VPN service (allows me to access the BBC networks/iPlayer)

(I don't have cable tv)
My last two VPNs could not evade the BBC iPlayer filter. I was able to watch content in the past, but that was a while ago. Do you mind my asking which VPN still works for viewing the BBC iPlayer content?

I forgot about Bob and Brad... I watched one of their videos a couple of days. I think they are on my subscribed list also.
I had been afraid to get down on the ground due to my hip operation and Bob n Brad had a couple videos on how to do it safely. So, yesterday on the soft sand I was able to easily get down and up again after probably 2 years of never being on the ground, lol. It did wonders for my mental state!

You-Tube is such a wealth of information, it amazes me. DH is learning how to ferment veggies.

I use Surfshark & it not only has worked but is cheaper than the other reliable VPNs too. Through that I was able to set up my Amazon Fire stick to stream the BBC to my living room flatscreen, the most difficult part is actually getting the iPlayer app onto the Firestick (or iPhone), the instructions are widely available online for those with patience.

I've been away for most of the year & hadn't watched BBC on my TV/Firestick yet, I heard that Amazon did an update of the Fire software this spring so I just tried it & it still works fine on FireTV, but can't get it to work on my iPhone now, no loss really. (In theory if you could get it to play on iPhone you can cast it to a Roku.)

Newspapers ( a la newsprint!):

Newsday (LI, NY)
New York Times (Fr-Sun)

Magazines:

Natl Geo History
Smithsonian
New York

TV:

Netflix
HBO Max
Amazon Prime Video

The main indulgence lately is ordering books instead of relying on the library as much. Most of the books are discounted. I also use PC Kindle.

I also still prefer the physical media of DVDs/Blu-rays when building my archival movie collection. Streaming as the main thing is not for me, other than some ephemeral viewing.

I'm addicted to FB and YT.

ZERO. No magazines, no cable, no newspapers.
