Will using a VPN affect the video quality?
All VPNs have the potential to slow down your internet connection. But ExpressVPN is very fast, and most users don’t experience issues with buffering when they stream video. In fact, sometimes a VPN may be able to boost your download speeds, especially if your internet service provider (ISP) throttles bandwidth on streaming-video services.

With ExpressVPN, you can securely stream free-to-air British TV channels like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Sky Go, Channel 4, My5, and Now TV. ExpressVPN also works with premium streaming services that specialize in British content like BritBox and Acorn TV.

Why streamers love ExpressVPN
Perfect. Unlike other VPNs that took forever to stream anything, with ExpressVPN I never notice a difference at all. It takes a lot to make me happy but this did it for me.
Have been using this service for two years now... it's infallible. Works with every app and streaming service. Uptime is good, no stuttering or delay on streams.
This is the first VPN service that doesn't slow down or buffer my streaming services while I'm at home. I appreciate that and thank you all for doing it right!
How to stream on your TV with ExpressVPN
Using ExpressVPN means secure streaming in blazing-fast HD! Here are four ways to stream with a VPN:
Download the app to a smart TV. If you have a TV that can install the ExpressVPN app directly, such as Amazon Fire TV or Android TV, just search for the app and install!
Connect via HDMI cable. Simply run an HDMI cable from another device with ExpressVPN installed to your TV. Don’t have an HDMI cable handy? Try mirroring or casting instead.
Use MediaStreamer. Though MediaStreamer doesn’t offer the privacy protection of a VPN, it works with devices like Apple TV and gaming consoles that normally can’t install a VPN.
Use a VPN-enabled router. With ExpressVPN installed on your router, every device in your home—including your smart TV—can enjoy all the benefits of a VPN. This even covers devices that can’t install a VPN directly.
Besides smart TVs, ExpressVPN also works with a wide range of devices—and you can connect up to 8 at the same time with a single 6- or 12-month subscription!
