Several streaming services block mirroring - I don't quite understand why. I'd be interested to know if anyone has managed to mirror iFollow this season onto a TV, even if they're actually in the country they say they're in, as opposed to touring the world via a VPN. I suspect it's just a general block on either Airplay or mirroring, rather than specific to VPNs.
Ok I get that makes sense, but not problem for us ex patsI'd guess they want to stop fans in UK using vpn's to pretend they're overseas?
I use a HDMI cable John, no problems with it.I've tried mirroring on my TV in Vietnam, but without success, Just watch it on my laptop.

I tried nord vpn, didn't work for me. It took my money then refused to let me watch, said I was in the wrong place.For any UK based users that want to watch on iFollow -
1. Sign up to NORD VPN, they often have good deals that work out to about £5 a month. Once your account is created and active you’ll need to download the app to your desktop/mac
2. Connect the VPN, I normally use countries like the Netherlands or Belgium as they have good speeds.
3. Once the VPN is connected, sign up to the Hull City iFollow service and select the relevant package you’d like.
4. On a match day open Nord VPN, sign in, select the Netherlands, open ifollow on chrome and sign in, click next match and then click play.
Easy as that!
For Mac users you can get around the AirPlay/mirror block by buying a Mac HDMI adaptor, can get them for around £10/15 on Amazon
My VPN worked fine but somehow they rumbled that I was in the UK (London) and blocked me. Ended up getting a fire stick and downloading an app which seems to be working fine so far.I tried a couple of VPNs on Saturday (France and Germany) neither seemed to give me the option to purchase a video pass for iFollow... I wonder if they're starting to restrict some known VPN IP's to prevent this...
Can you connect a firestick to a laptop or does it have to be to the tv?My VPN worked fine but somehow they rumbled that I was in the UK (London) and blocked me. Ended up getting a fire stick and downloading an app which seems to be working fine so far.
Has to be for the TV I think, I got an Amazon one for about £35.Can you connect a firestick to a laptop or does it have to be to the tv?
Thanks EM.Has to be for the TV I think, I got an Amazon one for about £35.
Which app are you using?My VPN worked fine but somehow they rumbled that I was in the UK (London) and blocked me. Ended up getting a fire stick and downloading an app which seems to be working fine so far.
Is that with your own membership or one set up purely for the ifollow?Luxembourg tends to be the one to choose.

It’s with Express VPN. Not just for iFollow as I spend a lot of time in Greece when a VPN is useful for UK-based streaming apps.Is that with your own membership or one set up purely for the ifollow?
I meant are you using a Hull City membership registered to you in the UK via a VPN or did you set up a membership from an address abroad, sorry.It’s with Express VPN. Not just for iFollow as I spend a lot of time in Greece when a VPN is useful for UK-based streaming apps.
Ah. I think I just used my UK address. You often cannot buy a game if you’re in a country where the rights have been sold - which is why Luxembourg is a good bet, as they don’t seem to buy up much UK footy for rebroadcast. But then I am sometimes really abroad - maybe that helps.I meant are you using a Hull City membership registered to you in the UK via a VPN or did you set up a membership from an address abroad, sorry.
I've set up a membership using my dad's address in Cyprus and used nord vpn but it's still only letting me purchase audio for Preston on Saturday.
