Because my iPad has uk Apple ID I cannot download the Bein connect app as it’s not available on uk store and Bein won’t let me view from iPad chrome or safari browser (it keeps telling me to view via the app when I press play). It will let me view from the Safari browser on my Mac desktop and chromecast from that. The quality of the cast starts off ok and looks fine on the computer screen on an ongoing basis but the picture quality on the tv often then deteriorates usually after a small buffer. By turning off then back on again the chromecast facility on the computer this restores the picture quality on the tv. The Mac is quite an old machine 10 years plus and my router ,tv and it are no more than 4 metres apart and going through only 1 internal wall. 

Any suggestions on either how to get the app on my iPad ( I don’t want to change from uk store in case I lose iplayer app etc) or alternatively how to improve the chromecast quality via the Mac desktop? 

Have you not got an Android phone you can use?

Bein Connect works great on mine with Chromecast.

My normal phone is also iPhone but have a very old android phone tucked away. Don’t know if that’ll work but thanks for suggestion.

Yes.

The problem being that BeIn Connect is only available in Thailand.

As he has a UK Apple ID they will not allow him to download the app from the app store.

Maybe he can side load it somehow.

Then I would get a free VPN , like Tunnel Bear, that would show the device as being in the UK

That doesn’t change my Apple ID.

How about using Crome browser on the I Pad.

Might work.

I originally tried that , you get to see what’s on catchup etc but on pressing play a message says warning,for best viewing experience watch through the app and a pop up to take you to the App Store to download....which you can’t. 

Buy a cheap Android phone.

I found a very cheap one I’d forgotten about and that has proven to be the answer. A bit fiddly with the small screen but perfect quality once selected. Thanks.
