davieG Posted 9 July 2017 Posted 9 July 2017 I'm after a tablet with a fast wifi connection and an hdmi port. Not too bothered about anything else as long as I can connect to a tv to stream via a vpn. Any recommendations please post or if you have any other suggestions on how to achieve this. Cheap = less than £150 if possible. Thanks in advance.
GLC Posted 9 July 2017 Posted 9 July 2017 Does it need to be android? if not, I've heard good things about the Linux1010 - £150 https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Tablets/Linx-1010B-10-1-inch-Tablet-Black-Keyboard/B014D847FS

theboyC Posted 9 July 2017 Posted 9 July 2017 If you are looking to stream the Plex is a great way and the best way DavieG. What are you looking to stream ?
davieG Posted 9 July 2017 Author Posted 9 July 2017 The footy from the USA, the app only works on those platforms listed, So I'm thinking an Android tablet but because I want watch it on my tv I need to use an html link. I can't use Chromecast because that won't work with a vpn stream as it's from the US.

I think you can only get Amazon apps on them so whether you can use the app you've got I'm not sure, apparently though you can get VPNs for them. They're very good tablets for the money though. You don't have to have Prime.

davieG Posted 10 July 2017 Author Posted 10 July 2017 Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll risk an Amazon Fire stick, seems like you can use a VPN and it's on the list I put up. It's also low risk price wise and if it doesn't work it should be useful anyway or I can resort to using Kodi on it.

V1 stick won't run a vpn. have you paid for a vpn subscription yet? I use VyprVPN on my stick as there is an app available through amazon. Easily to work and very reliable. Although I am just in the habit now of opening the vpn app to check it's on before I stream anything. It's not let me down since I subscribed.
