^This, I've been using it since it launched in Thailand and the streaming quality seems fine. I'm told that the Thai subscribers' selection is limited but if your daughter has a US subscription then maybe she'll have access to all US programming.

Thanks for replies she is going to try to log into our Netflix account told her she will not get bbc iplayer, it annoys me we bring her here on holiday and all she wants is Internet and tv!

"Thai subscribers' selection is limited ".....sure is, catering to the Lowest Common Denominator.

She might still be able to view iPlayer by using a VPN. There are numerous threads on this site discussing this.

Use DNS fix for BBC iPlayer, gets around the speed limits of a VPN. Unotelly DNS works still and you get a weeks free trial for every email you enroll with.

Or use Kodi Mike1234 BBCiPlayer addon and it works with built in network links and no need for other VPN or DNS.

Nope - that's not how it works. You get the programming based on your location, not where your account is from.

Where would I find that particular Kodi add-on please?

In the Xunitytalk repo. https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-all-in-one-kodi-xbmc/

You could also sign up with https://www.unotelly.com which would allow you to access both iplayer and netflix easily and very reliably for a minimal cost.

I've tried that iPlayer addon - without a VPN I get an error when it tries to load the list of stream links.

Oddly, if I use a VPN, let it load the links, then disconnect the VPN, it will happily play them - but I can't access the links without the VPN.

BBC and ITV Iplayers both easy to watch.... using Hola added to Chrome or Firefox.... and free...

One of them you need to add a UK postcode... can't remember off hand which .....

You don't need an external third party VPN or DNS service to see the streams. Maybe you haven't enabled VPN in the addon internal settings? Then you should get a list of streams to choose and I find the LIMELIGHT options (either 1500kbps or 400kbps) works for me. The lower speed always more reliable but reduced image quality.
