Watch Virgin Media Player from outside Ireland
To watch Irish TV3/Virgin Media Player you need to make your browser and TV3 believe you are located in Ireland. The way to do so is to get hold of an Irish IP address. There are several ways to get hold of such an IP address, but the best, most stable and trustworthy way of doing so is to use a VPN provider.
A VPN provider is someone offering you to the chance to connect to one of their machines or servers in Ireland, and once attached or connected to that computer you will surf the Internet with an Irish IP address and look like someone residing in Ireland to everyone else on the Internet. In addition to giving you an Irish IP address, the VPN providers will also encrypt your Internet connection, making it safe to surf and which will protect your identity and data, also in open networks.
We have tested quite a lot of VPN providers, and the best provider, if you want to get hold of an Irish IP address, is ExpressVPN. They have great speeds and will help you watch Irish TV and get an Irish IP within shortly.
What to do now?
Visit the ExpressVPN website and sign up for their services. Download their client, add your username and password and connect to their server in Ireland. Once this is done all you need to do is to restart your browser, and then you are ready to watch TV3 in Ireland from outside of Ireland! The good news is that it doesn’t only sound great and easy, but it truly is great and easy! Enjoy!
You can later use your ExpressVPN subscription to get access to American Netflix, to watch BBC from abroad, and so much more!
