Here you can find SmartStream setup information for your chosen device and also which services you can access whilst using SmartStream.

You can use the Table of Contents on the right hand side of this window to navigate between the different sections.

Support for Amazon Kindle Fire is only available with our 'Type 2' DNS servers, they only support UK sites and require an Amazon UK account.

Retrieve the Type 2 DNS servers from the below list, you will need these later.

Only the Type 2 DNS servers have Amazon Instant UK/Kindle Fire support.




Step 2
Retrieve your VPN username and password, if you are a new member this is contained in the StreamVia Account Information email you received after ordering.




Step 3
If your device is not already connected to your network, please connect it now. Make sure you have internet access, albeit geo-blocked internet access.
