How VPN UK Changes the Connection Route
Check the live channel and the on-demand listing separately. They may have different viewing requirements. If live TV asks for a postcode or other eligibility information, follow STV’s instructions using your actual details.
Your device connects to a VPN UK server first. Only after that encrypted step does your traffic continue on to STV Player, arriving from that server's region instead of your own.
