How to add BBC iPlayer to your Amazon Firestick when outside the UK (in Spain)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BBC iPlayer is a video streaming service, designed for users in the UK only.<\/p>\n

The BBC iPlayer FireStick app is only available for UK residents.<\/p>\n

If you try to add BBC iPlayer app to your Firestick whilst in Spain, then you may not find it in the available apps in your apps store. This is because it is “geo-blocked”, using your internet IP address to check whether or not you are located in the UK.<\/p>\n

However it is possible to manually install the BBC iPlayer app on your Firestick.<\/p>\n

But for people living outside of the UK, you will need a VPN or Smart DNS service to hide your “non UK” IP address and access the free content on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n
