Check the App Store or Android equivalent.

A VPN gives you a proxy IP (Internet address) and makes it look like you're connecting from wherever their server is.

For example if you're overseas and can't access UK content (eg on BBC iPlayer) you can connect to a VPN based in London and it looks like you're UK based.

Really easy to use!

Sounds technical is sky shield a pre installed software on Sky routers ?

We are on Bt fibre so perhaps they have a similar thing ?

If you download the Ares Wizard into your Jodi box that allows you to upgrade or re-install any missing or malfunctioning channels.. including all sky sports etc

Google Hola for a free VPN.

I'm having trouble installing Exodus on my mxpro box, I've followed all the instructions got it installed.

I try to load movies or TV I get as far as action, drama etc but when I choose whatever it does its thing in the bottom right hand corner then nothing, won't find any programmes.

I've deleted and started again several times but never seem to get it to work.

Even tried installing direct to my pc but that only goes as far as above.

Any ideas? Thanks Jim
