Which VPN did you yet Gs?

I am on BT and also use Sportsmania. I've found it more difficult to find a good stream, but I've always found one. Definitely not as good as last year as you have to search around a bit more, but I still always get a good stream.

I am in the North btw.

I'm in the north and on BT too.  Everything had been perfect for me up until the weekend.

I downloaded IPVanish.  It's on the app store on the firestick so it's easily found.

You do need to sign up for an account first using your phone/laptop or whatever.  It was something like $8 or $10 for a month, but I'm hoping Sportsmania will sort their issues out and I can cancel it in a couple of weeks time.

Watched the game last night on a Bein Sports channel.  Some of the others buffered a bit.

I saw on another site for anybody wishing to sign up to IPVanish, there is a code to get 50% off the full year package. Think it works on 5 devices.  The code is "PRIVACYFIRST" and expires midnight on 23AUG. Should bring it down to 30 something dollars for the year.

I haven't any VPN myself, but might look about getting this one to see how it goes.

Good man.  Must check that out.

I think the blocking is really only during Premier League games so be the weekend before you get a true test Gaffer.

Aye but the City game was Premier League.
Mania hoping to have problem solved shortly though.

The block has been affecting me the past two weekends on zgemma, but then after all channels are available again.  I could see the City game on Monday night so I'm wondering if they just didn't bother with the block for the one game.

The block should affect the McGregor fight should it? just expect high volume on the servers.

The block only applies to Premier League games

The block, as I understand it, blocks the servers that SM runs on during premier league games, possibly all weekend. My on demand section wouldn't run last Saturday afternoon.

Never had a more frustrating night with sportsmania. Can't get a single link to play for more than about 3 mins for the villa match. Maybe it's because of the matrix tv app.

Mine is working perfect.

I've been trying this week to get my head around how when the block is on a server like Sportsmania they manage to differentiate between UK and non U.K. traffic??
