Yeah when I was with pia I managed to add the app but I couldn't get it to connect to the network sadly :(
 
Any advice on these VPN's ie which one to buy ? what sort of price will i be paying ??. Dont really know the crack with them just seen them mentioned a bit on this thread.
I have just bought a openbox v9s is it worthwhile getting a vpn ??

@talkativesprout is the guy to talk to on the cs scene mate; if you're looking for a good VPN I recommend Nord VPN or private internet access :)
 
Strangely, in this country it's best to just find yourself a SMB fibre provider. They generally don't get hit with the traffic restrictions but the network they usually run on is the same and you don't have the latency issues you get with a VPN. It solves 90% or more of site blocking issues.
 
Not sure if this is the right place to say but i found mobdro on my box, got it going and it's been faultless ever since. Super quick and every footy channel going.
I presume it's another 'player' like kodi but not 'open' to put other add-ons on?

Yup I have used modbro in the past and it's alright, don't think I have ever gotten anything better than SD though :)
 
Just after a little advice. I currently have a firestick with the bluemoon build loaded but most of the football streams suffer from really bad buffering. So rather than using the wifi I'm thinking of buying a box with an Ethernet connection to see if that helps. I recall some posts a while back recommending various boxes (I haven't got a huge budget and not after an all singing and dancing piece of kit) and was wondering if the Amazon fire TV 4K with Ultra HD was a decent box to have.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Well public streams can stutter due to outside influences and not you so hold up before spending cash. You can test my network if you like and see if it really is you or the streams which are at fault if you wish.

Nordvpn have an offer on at the moment, $72 for 2 years, works out about £2.40 a month, bargain.

Thanks @TCIB unfortunately I'm not that tech savvy!! would you be able guide me through the testing process?
 
Is a VPN strictly necessary? I mean, I know it's obviously illegal to stream copyrighted content, but is it also illegal to receive it?

Let's take this discussion away from football for one moment, to better illustrate my point. Suppose there's a canoeing event going on and the canoe club have done a deal with a local photographer that he has the rights to video the event and stream the video to some club members. And suppose a load of photographers turn up and they all video the event as well "for their own personal use" and the club is OK with this.

Unbeknown to the club, one of these other photographers (not the licensed one) decides to stream the content on the web via a server in his van, and 1,000 people tune in and watch.

How are these viewers to know that the content is illegal? Are they to write to the canoe club before watching? And get a reply after the event is over? Are they to try to contact the streamer to check with him whether the content is legal or not. And what if he lies? Are you supposed to do this every time you watch ANY video on the web? What about stuff on Youtube? Should you not watch it before checking if it's a copyright infringement or not?

My point is surely it is not reasonable to ask *viewers* to determine whether what they are watching is an infringement of copyright? Surely it's only the responsibility of those sending the video?

I only recommend to bother using a VPN if you are using a p2p stream mate; you are uploading while downloading with a p2p based stream which makes it slightly more risky

They are after the uploaders really, @aguerrrroooooooooooo is just being safe as he can be. There is no need for example on my network as i am the proxy, users connect to a private server with private ip and high bandwidth. Nobody else can see what is on the server and they use an old standard to connect (ftp) which is as normal as normal gets as far as any measures go looking for suspicious network activity i.e. lots of tcp connections due to being in a torrent swarm.

On public stuff you do run the risk of receiving a copyright notice though with a small chance of legal action, that is a risk enough for many to get a vpn or use private services.

On a side note, stand up comedy folder will fill up a bit soon, HAGGIS have ripped this years xmas stand up dvd's.
