The best thing about an Amazon Fire TV Stick is that you can take your whole telly setup with you. Plug it into a hotel TV or Airbnb screen, and you’ve instantly transformed that locked-up TV into one with every streaming service under the sun, exactly as if you were watching TV back at home.
The problem? Some UK streaming apps don’t work when you’re abroad. BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 and Now can all detect when you’re no longer in the UK, meaning your Fire Stick suddenly becomes redundant and you can’t catch up on Love Island or the Premier League.
