My supplier informs me that it might be best to use a VPN

It is always sensible to use a VPN. I don't think though that this would help if the likes of Sky attack the actual IPTV servers, as they appeared to do the other day. The VPN is there to protect you not the "provider". Also telling it you are outside the UK may work against you as, say Switzerland, is outside the area that Sky is broadcasting. Obviously where a VPN is essential is if you are watching abroad and you actually need to tell the system you are in the UK.

I will bow to your superior knowledge on this subject mate as I know next to fuck all about VPN's.

I think this thread proves that there’s no such thing as a totally reliable alternative to the legit services.

The one I’ve got is exceptional value for money but you can never really rely on it. People who’ve been in this game for decades assure me that I’ve got one of the best out there as well. So it’s not like I’m paying for a low end set up.

I was considering going all in when my contract with Virgin is up soon. But I think now I’m going to just going to maybe ditch TNT and that will more than pay for the IPTV as a decent back up, rather than relying on it for everything.

It's impossible in Britain to watch every City match (legally)dispite how many different subscriptions you pay. I've had to watch several games this season through iptv especially 3pm Saturday kick offs.

Yeah I’m aware of that. I’m not thinking of getting rid of the IPTV . As well as 3pm’s, I use it for NFL and sometimes TV series that aren’t available on the normal channels.

I was talking about getting rid of the legit ones and going all in with the IPTV. But I’ve gone off that idea now and am going to keep both.

Mine working as normal after the rag match. I'm guessing they targeted that game to try some new blocking tech'

Isn’t it more likely that the problems are with the most popular matches, simply because more people are watching them?

Because of lagging on occasion especially in the last six months. We still pay to Netflix and watch free UK apps ( too many adverts) when it's not reliable.
 
Had a real struggle watching City last night. Went to TNT and it was buffering/stalling (unwatchable) tried VPN but didn’t help. My IPTV also offers a PL listing by club giving choice of two channels usually one is UK (Sky or TNT) the other being Optus (Aus). - neither working. Found the game was on DAZN 1 in Spain - went there, set VPN to Madrid…perfect.

Anyone else having problems with TNT so far tonight or is just my supplier?

I watched on a wire connected Samsung tv (sadly has a 100mb port) and was perfect. But depends on what you watched on, my iPhone has been gash since iOS 18, I was getting kb speeds to a max of 30mb on a 1 gig connection - I disabled the vpn on it yesterday and now enjoy 1.4gb speed (iPhone 15 WiFi 6e), it may be an issue with iOS 18 but obviously not ideal for watching a stream
