Can I use a firestick on my caravan TV on a site with internet.

Theoretically, however most site wifi requires you to log in using a web browser and restricts you to 1 device which would make it difficult to use a firestick. Also most caravan wifi isn't fast enough to support any type of reasonable streaming or blocks streaming port to avoid people using too much of the single broadband connection the site shares.

If you have good mobile reception you may be better using your phone as a wifi hotspot with a cheap sim and lots of data. E.g. with giffgiff gaff you get 20GB of data for £20 so providing you are in a decent signal area you may get 5-10 hours of TV for your £20.

Yes, but as above. You need decent speeds.....however ....I live in rural Scotland with, often speeds at home of less than 1gb. I still manage to use the stick for streaming prime movies. It’s always worth a go.

Shop about for data only sims. We use a mifi when away and managed to get 20gb data a month for £8 from three. It works out well if you are away every month , even at weekends you can binge watch all sorts lol.

If you have a mifi and lucky to get a good deal, you can even use it home to make full use of the data ....alas for us we don’t even live in a mobile reception area!

Set this up last weekend, was a small CL site so not many using the wifi but worked great. Have got a mobile wifi box for when wifi is unavailable.

May I ask what you have please? I have been using my hotspot on my phone as have 40gb of data a month. However it gets eaten up very quickly so have been looking at a dongle and whether it’s worth buying one.
Thanks.

Sorry only just seen this. Got a vodafone mifi. £25 for 15gb but lasts 90 days. Not sure how much we'll use but from last weekend with a bit on youtube and a film, watching BGT on the itv hub, plus the Mrs connected with her phone we used around 4gb.
