BBC iPlayer is a video streaming service, designed for users in the UK only.
BBC iPlayer FireStick app is only available for UK residents.
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.
However it is possible to install the BBC iPlayer app on your Firestick.

And before you can start to watch content you will also need a VPN or Smart DNS service to hide your “non UK” IP address and access the free content on BBC iPlayer.

Why do you need to use a Smart DNS or VPN?
When you’re in Spain and want to watch UK TV using official apps and services, like BBC iPlayer, you might find that access is restricted due to geographical licensing agreements. Here’s why using a Smart DNS or VPN can help:
1. **Geo-Blocking**: Many streaming services restrict access based on the user’s location. This is because they have specific licensing deals for different regions. UK TV channels might only have the rights to broadcast their content in the UK, so they block access from outside the country.
2. **Smart DNS**: This service redirects only the part of your traffic that reveals your location. It allows you to bypass geographic restrictions by making it look like you’re accessing the content from the UK, even though you’re physically in Spain. It’s typically faster than a VPN because it only affects certain parts of your connection, but it doesn’t offer the same level of privacy.
3. **VPN (Virtual Private Network)**: A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server in the UK. This makes it appear as though you are browsing from the UK, which helps you bypass geo-restrictions. A VPN also provides additional privacy and security by masking your IP address and encrypting your data.
Both Smart DNS and VPNs can help you access UK TV channels and streaming services while you’re in Spain, but they work in slightly different ways and offer different benefits.
