Jesus paramount is horrendous with Windscribe, tried watching Australia version for united highlights. Tried every server available, all shite buffering. Tried number of devices , app on phone ia better as lets you play round with video quality settings don't see this in android tv version. But still terrible.
Also noticed if disconnect VPN after video loaded it plays. I'm not convinced paramount will be any way useful for football given testing. Tried another VPN also. Any VPN lag seems to really kill it.

I think I'm a step away from just going for IPTV. Ssports was excellent I must say- pity they lost the rights.After 64 pages trying to find a good EPL provider after telling the Wife & Kids to bin of Sky Sports for this new Mexican/Indonesian/Philippino/Turkish/Kazakhstan provider the boys recommended..... This is all of us on the opening day of the season

Paramount+ is doing my head in. I think they must know I'm using a VPN and have a new policy instead of blocking you they just buffer you to death. Death by 1000 cuts.

I find Peacock is the best in terms of just 'working' literally majority of DNS/VPNs works with it. Pair it with USA Network, you are good to go as that's equally circumvented too. Just my two cents they are the most stable imo.
For Paramount+ Australia I've been using surfshark and have had no issue using Australia - Melbourne connection, for both live and replays of the footy and watching star trek.
I ditched Windscribe for the same reasons you're having.
Setanta Sports (Android TV) - they have finally updated the Android TV app for Setanta Sports (from version 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 - the first update in 9 months). You can sideload it or I managed to download it officially from the PlayStore in Georgia (had to VPN there to download, as i had problems accessing it from other countries' PlayStores). Hopefully it'll be more stable.

How do you access the other countries play store , on Chromecast TV tried clearing app store cache and having VPN active but only shows apps still for my registered region.
It's a bit hit-and-miss... but basically, you 'force close' Google PlayStore and clear its cache. So, go into Android Settings => Apps => Google Play Store, and choose 'Force Stop' and then "Clear Data" (in that order). Then, come out of Settings and turn on your VPN to whichever country (e.g. Georgia), then re-open Google Play Store and hopefully it'll be in the new country.
It doesn't always work, sometimes you have to do it a few times or even "switch accounts" (within Google Play Store) as that seems to 'jolt' it. It seems to be that if you've clear PlayStore's memory/cache (as above), it forgets which country to show you so when you re-open it with your VPN on (to whichever country), it thinks "oh, right, you're in [Georgia], so we'll show you apps for that country".

It would be mint if this was somehow supported for the firestick. Not sure if it's even possible as my software development knowledge is limited but I do wonder if some clever person would be able to modify it to run on the firesticks.

Worked a treat for me on my phone thank you. Just downloaded the official HBO Max and Peacock apps from the US Play store. As you say it took a couple of goes and a switch of account.

Thanks the source so I close my account and do you mean reopen the same account with same email address?
Thanks

With my email and just used a random address and mobile number when required. The coupon is digital delivery so it doesn’t matter.
I love Peacock, but I find that Optus Sport is a better service: They have ALL the games - and they do a good job of doing “mini matches” of 25 mins. I find that to be a good way to watch matches I missed, but can’t be bothered to invest 90+ mins in catching up on.
Disclaimer: I’m currently in Australia so I have zero issues with accessing Optus Sport, but it worked for me using ControlD from the UK as well.

Sadly Optus is one of the unreliable services when used in UK. Can not be relied on for season. Has just taken a hit and knocked of a few DNS and VPN providers...season ain't started yet lol...but bet its great when your over there lol 👍
That’s interesting thanks! Anyone know how many streams they allow? Works out £8.62 /mo. If I can sign up with Revolut, I’d happily split the yearly cost with other members if they allow more than one screen

Think it’s just a single stream, I’m afraid.
