I always take it abroad on holiday, mainly because of the crap channels. But it never works.

I'm told it's because i need a VPN, is that right? And how do I get it?

A VPN won’t help unless you’re going through your phone’s hotspot. If you’re using holiday wifi in a hotel or whatever, it works in a different way to your home wifi so the firestick won’t work. Same in a hotel here.

Do you have access to the Amazon app store through the firestick?

You can download a VPN app from there then you just need to open it and get your subscription sorted. There are probably free ones but you get what you pay for with vpns.

Otherwise you can sideload an app that you download directly from the VPN website but that's more complicated so you'd best Google the instructions.

I always thought they were connected to your WiFi so if you take it out it won't work I had one but when I went to caravan it didn't and that's what I was told when I got back could have it programmed to work at both but double price.
