3. Purchase a subscription to PureVPN
PureVPN is the name of a VPN provider that works excellently with BBC. In other words, you can enjoy encryption and security, and all the programs available in BBC iPlayer at the same time. You can also use PureVPN to watch Netflix content in 7 different countries, and to unblock several other TV networks and streaming services. To get started, visit the PureVPN website and purchase a subscription.
PureVPN has a special deal available right now, so click the button above to check it out. If you purchase a subscription, but do not like it, you can always feel safe, due to their 31-day money-back guarantee. You can use one subscription on many devices at the same time, and they do not have any bandwidth limitations. They also have servers in more than 150 countries, making it one of the biggest VPN services in the world.
- Visit the PureVPN website.
- Purchase a subscription.
- Download their VPN client to your device(s).
There are lots of other VPN providers available, but 99% of them are blocked by BBC iPlayer. As a result, you will still see error messages as you try to stream content on BBC iPlayer using those, even if they provide you with a UK IP address.
4. Connect to a PureVPN server in the UK
Now it is time to open your PureVPN application. Look for a server in the United Kingdom and connect. You can see how I have done it myself using the PureVPN application for Windows.
It takes a few seconds to make the connection. When it says that you are connected, all websites will believe that you are located in the United Kingdom, and you have a local IP address in the UK.
5. Visit BBC iPlayer and watch His Dark Materials online
Now it is time to visit BBC iPlayer once again. Choose which episodes to stream. Do not forget to log in with your BBC iPlayer account. You might need to restart your browser window. You are now ready to watch His Dark Materials season 1 and season 2 online.
If you still get some error message, here are a few tips that might help you. Normally you will not receive any error messages, but sometimes, you might need to do one of the following things in order for this to work:
- Connect to a different PureVPN server in the UK.
- Open your browser in Incognito mode/Private mode
- Go to BBC iPlayer again, log in with your credentials, and start to stream.
These are two different solutions that will fix error messages, if you should get any using PureVPN. But, I have just tested it myself, and I could simply open my normal browser window and watch His Dark Materials on BBC iPlayer without using any of those techniques.
Is His Dark Materials worth watching?
I recently read the Narnia chronicles, and I loved them. I then asked Google for advice on what books to read that are somewhat similar. One of the suggestions I received was to read The Golden Compass, the book on which His Dark Materials is based. And as I think about it, that has got to be very true.
This is a fantastic fairy-tale story with lots of action, bears that can talk, good people, evil people, love, family, and a fantastic Ruth Wilson playing the role of Marisa Coulter. Dafne Keen is also great in her role as Lyra, and James McAvoy is doing a good job as Lord Asriel. In other words, this is a fantastic story that will entertain both young and old. I can warmly recommend it!
