A few weeks ago I discovered the My 5 website, where I could watch programs from Channel 5, but now I get this error message .. They must have upgraded their security

Are you using the 'Watch UK TV' setting in HideAway? or just accessing it via the UK Location?

When using a VPN, it is better and more secure to access websites with a clean browser (no history, cookies, etc.). Also, connect to the VPN first and then start your browser or app.

I always use the 'Watch UK TV' option connecting to Hideaway first but just tried 'My Computer UK, London' and got the same error message

Hi Nick, I'd been meaning to ask about this too
Were you able to look into it as your last post about it was in March!
Cheers, PG

I have the same problem with Mediaset channels in Italy.
Here's an example:

I have no such setting, even when connected to the UK server.

Thanks. I had not noticed the Redirect menu.
Any chance of including an option for Italian TV, in particular Mediaset? I tried using Brave's TOR browser option but even that won't work.

Don't know much about proxy servers but a short Google told me they can be quite expensive so I'm pinning my hopes on Nick fixing it ... he usually comes through!
