However, once you connect the Amazon Firestick to your TV and your internet network, then you may notice some of the features don’t work.

For example, if you’re trying to use the BBC iPlayer or ITVX whilst in Spain then you will find the content blocked.

The good news is you can unlock most of this content in Spain.

Unlocking blocked content on a Firestick in Spain

To do this you are going to need the help of a Smart DNS service.

A Smart DNS service works by disguising the location you are connecting to the internet from.

So, for example the BBC iPlayer and ITVX is restricted to watching from within the UK only. If you try to watch the BBC iPlayer or ITVX in Spain you are going to be blocked from viewing the content. A Smart DNS service changes your online location so it appears as if you are in the UK even though you’re still in Spain.

Which Smart DNS Service

There are many companies offering Smart DNS services.

But we have found a Smart DNS service that works well in unlocking BBC iPlayer and ITVX content on a Firestick.

The Smart DNS services work really well with the Firestick and BBC iPlayer and ITVX.

Setting up your Smart DNS service on your Amazon Firestick

(These instructions assume that you have already set up your Amazon Firestick to your internet network)

1 . Make sure you Amazon Firestick is connected to your TVs HDMI input, the USB power cable is connected to a USB port on your TV (or electrical socket using a USB power plug), and your TV is turned on and on the correct HDMI input.

5. When you access the Network settings, you will see that your Amazon Firestick is already connected to your home internet Wifi network. So navigate to your home internet Wifi network, and press the “three horizontal lines” button on your Amazon Firestick remote to “forget” and disconnect from your home internet Wifi network.

Your  home internet Wifi network will now become “Available”

6. Select your home internet Wifi network, and you will be asked to input your home internet Wifi network password.

7. Use the on screen keyboard to input your home internet Wifi network.

But DO NOT PRESS “CONNECT” when finished.

Instead press “Advanced”

If you do not press “Advanced” then you will connect to your home internet Wifi network without setting up the Smart DNS service correctly.

8. Input the required IP address for your Amazon Firestick and Click Next .
This will be the first three groups of numbers exactly the same as the IP address of your router. As an example, if your router IP is 192.168.1.1, then use the IP address 192.168.1.xxx, where xxx is a number between 1 and 255…although bear in mind other devices connected to your router may already be using numbers 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.3 etc ..so best choose and IP address like 192.168.1.123, which may not already be taken up by another device.

9. Input IP of your router and Click Next . For example, if your router IP is 192.168.1.1 use that.

10. Input 24 for the Network Prefix Length and Click Next

11. Enter thee Smart DNS server IPs to DNS1 and DNS 2 options and Click Next

These will be available from your Smart DNS service, on your account dashboard, or a separate link.

For SMARTDNSPROXY, the server list cane be found at : https://www.smartdnsproxy.com/servers

12. Your Amazon Firestick will then connect to your home internet Wifi network, using the Smart DNS services servers.

13. Return to your Amazon Firesticks Home page.

14. Your Firestick will now be routing everything via SMARTDNSPROXY, and you should now have access to blocked content like BBC iPlayer and ITVX.
