Streaming Cycling in UK - Discovery+ prices!

[Alex321]

A great many don't have Any terms And conditions.

I cannot imagine you will find a single streaming service that has no T&C.

Or VPN for that matter.

Or pretty well anything else you can connect to.

It's set up to detect VPN use. Deleting cache and cookies helps but its a faff .

Its not detecting my VPN use, Cyberghost.

Send them your IP address ranges and they'll fix that for you. 😉

I'm struggling with casting from Rai, France TV and VRT (Sporza) from my devices

Obv I have a VPN, but both Paris Nice on France3 and Tirreno on Rai couldn't be casted.

Sporza had the option, but it wasn't connecting to my Chrome Cast (which granted could be a hardware issue)

Any tips gratefully received

I can’t really give you any help on the casting front, as I simply use my VPN with a Firestick.

Still wondering what to do. £30 per month is more than i think the coverage is worth. Not sure of the VPN route, i would bite at £10 per month but have not seen that offering.

I used to pay the £6.99 a month for the three months that the Grand Tours were on - meaning I could watch the Giro, Le Tour and La Vuelta on Eurosport / Discovery+ but refuse to pay £31 per month. So ahead of the Giro, I wanted to try the VPN option and have been pleasantly surprised. The setup can be a bit daunting but I just have the one login and haven't created additional logins - e.g. Apple, Google, and it works fine. Thus far, have watched Strade Bianchi and some of the Adriatico Terreno stage race (using an Italian connection), and Paris - Nice stage race (using a French connection). Although I've setup an account with the Australian SBS player - primarily to get English commentary, I haven't used it yet. My VPN option is costing me under £5 for the month. Hope this helps... 🤔

I have a Mac using Google Chrome, France tv 2 and 3 used for Paris Nice, and Rai for Adriatico Terreno. I just created one login (my email) but didn't create any additional logins with either Apple or Google. Keeping it simple seems to work best.

Thanks Bob, helpful advice.
Tbf I waste a lot of time sofa cycling so working on going cold turkey at the moment, not really sure how long my resolve will hold out.
What vpn provider are you using ?

I'm using NordVPN as they have an offer through The Cycling Podcast. I figure if I'm going to get one anyway, support the podcast at the same time

Dan Lloyd on the Twitter is linking a deal through EE that means you get a 43" TV and TNT Sports on a two year deal for £10 or £12 per month.
If folk wont pay that, then, I dunno

Pross has taken up this deal, as he needed a new tv. He said that it worked out as cheap, or cheaper than if he’d bought it in the Curry’s sale.
So, he’s basically getting TNT free, for 2 years.

I‘m not very tech savvy so apologies if this sounds daft.

If I’ve read your post correctly, I can simply download Nord VPN and sign up, then using my iPad watch cycling for free from other countries? Surely it’s not that simple?

NordVPN but I recommend reading article: https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/how-to-watch-cycling-for-less-in-the-uk, as other VPN options are available.
