Don't see why not, depends if the signal is filtered in any way. What are you worried about the tele for, you'll be on your holidays ffs!

Think you have to add Filmon on FTV in your settings to get channels in France

i have filmon on one of the repos mick so in theory it should work? ... - .- -.

Don't know about firestick or kodi but don't you have VPN which should mean they work ok as you would appear to be in UK? John

the vpn is to be able to access channels like bbc iplayer etc John but i'm hoping kodi does it a different way ... ... - .- -.

Should do through FTV

Can't see why it wouldn't work, but it depends on the speed of the hotel wifi too, in the last few places I've stayed the speed has been horrendous.

In terms of needing a VpN, why would you, it's not like the setup is strictly above board in the first place......

Oh and plus you will need a hotel with a fairly up to date tv with a USB port... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I'm not sure how streaming TV works nowadays but in the past, you had to use a proxy server to view UK TV services like iPlayer from abroad.

They may be able to recognise a French IP address and block certain channels/services.

It's iPlayer that restricts it's content to UK IP addresses due to licensing issues

As NMJ says - no reason koi would do that.

USB or HDMI ?

I'm late to this party - I just ordered myself a Fire stick about 10 minutes ago off to France in a couple of weeks & hoping our site wifi is fast enough.

it is a hdmi port that the firestick needs Mark.....i'll take mine next week Alistair and let you know if it works.. ... - .- -.
