Your PC has a different ISP? So you have 2 ISPs?
Sounds like a normal day for an expat trying to watch TV from back home!
Right, because you keep using all this pointless shite, you are always going to have hassle.
So, you actually only have one ISP? Have you enabled any content filtering via your ISP, as it may block some streaming.
Most streaming services are blocking VPNs, both for obvious reasons around geolocation, but also due to security and performance issues. BBC keep talking about doing similar, but are too scared to piss that many people off in one go.

I thought that the whole point of a VPN is that nobody knows you are using one? ??? :-\
Or is just that some are better than others? ::)

So you are currently in Sweden? It could be NOW are geoblocking Sweden, as maybe they don't feel a service there. Unlikely though, as any paying customer is usually good enough for Uncle R.
No, no content filtering. Fact remains that the VPN German-owned ISP in London enables NOW streaming, but the standard non-VPN Swedish one doesn't! Will need to speak to Optyx whose bills I pay.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why this would be a particularly stupid idea :D
Not sure if the old BT box or Samsung TV retain a DNS cache or not. Since it's all on a ethernet, then maybe it can all be cleared from my PC...or maybe not.So are you using BT, or this other tinpot ISP (which sounds more like a pisspot VPN provider than an ISP, and I think I know who it is ;D). If you are using BT, then stick with the BT Hub, and FFS stop using VPNs!

Ah, right, so a couple of things....
...the BT Hub needs to be removed if its still plugged in. You should be using your new ISP's router. If both routers are plugged in, you might be getting DHCP from wrong device.
Your new ISP is probably using CGNAT (convention is your router's WAN IP is 100.x.x.x, but not all do). This *shouldn't* cause any issues with streaming services, but make sure IPV6 is disabled on the NowTV device (TV) if you can, as the double NAT can bugger up 6to4 tunnels.
