How can I stream on my TV with a VPN?
In brief there are five different ways to stream sports on your TV with ExpressVPN:
- With the native app for a smart TV or streaming device
- By streaming on your computer and connecting to the TV with an HDMI cable
- By mirroring or casting wirelessly to your TV or streaming device from your computer or mobile device
- By connecting to an ExpressVPN-enabled router, which allows for unlimited devices and makes it super simple to connect to different server locations simultaneously
- With MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN’s solution for devices that cannot install a VPN, such as some streaming consoles and gaming consoles. MediaStreamer only needs to be set up once, although it does not provide the full security benefits of a VPN.

I connected to the VPN but my internet speed is slow
If your internet speed is slow or your streaming seems to lag, there are a few possible reasons:
-The distance of your selected VPN server location from your physical location
-Your connection type (wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections)
-Suboptimal interconnectivity between the VPN and your ISP
-Slow internet connection speed at your location
-Your device type and processing power
Try each of the following steps to troubleshoot:
-Download the latest version of ExpressVPN
-Connect to a different VPN server location
-Change your VPN protocol
If you try each of the above and are still experiencing issues with your streaming speed, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team 24/7 and someone will be with you in seconds.

A few questions for you 1 where should i set the VPN to get EPL coverage of matches I live in the UK. 2 DAZN is no good for me they say i cannot access EPL matches because i am in the UK. Does the same apply to the CBS and NBCSN ? If you can give me a little guidance i will be obliged.
Hi Peter,
You can visit the schedule on https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/. If a game is on NBC, it can be accessed for free on Locast (see instructions above). For other channels like NBCSN and Peacock, you can watch the former using free trials from Sling TV while Peacock also offers a free trial.
