only if every one they are using is a cs,
they will be streaming from legit boxes

Ah yes, read that wrong. So virgin are just blocking cardsharing. Will probably hit some IPTV providers but hopefully it's nothing they can't work around.

I wonder if stream off legit boxes is easy, maybe they stream off CS for a reason?

First time that my Flawless has been pretty crap.

Running it through Kodi and even Flawless starting up seemed to take ages. Tried the SKY ones and they worked fine for a bit and then went into stutter/pause mode (missed our first but got the replay) and it was the same on HD and SD feeds.

Pretty much exactly the same on the Live EPL feed.

I ran the built in speedtest and that was fine (ping 22 and DL of 98M).

I popped onto Covenant and got a 1080P movie feed running with no problems.

I've not needed a VPN lately but used flawless on my phone on 4G to check and it ran smoothly which would imply it was a VM issue (blocking/throttling/??)

Mine was fine today. I rarely watch on the Sky channels - usually use the US/Canadian ones. Didn't have a vpn running.

Anybody with BT for fibre: any problems using FL? Needing a VPN or anything? Just asking before I go ahead and sign up.

I'm with BT - fibre direct to house. So far have had a pretty smooth ride with FL. Not had to use a VPN very often. Am currently watching without vpn.

tedmus · « **Reply #1246 on:** January 15, 2018, 10:04:41 pm »

VPN needed after half time tonight with FL, first time since using it.

So does SM still require a VPN for those of us in the UK? I've been using floorlegs with 0 problems since I moved. ISP is Virgi.n and no VPN required for anything.

Not sure if anyone on here is still using it to be honest.

Floorless has been having a few problems this week with them doing changes for the fix tomorrow that hopefully means no blocks ever again.

I don't know anyone that still uses SM. Did see Merc tweet the other day that they're getting new payment system again.
I'm using something else entirely. It's pretty good. Don't recall it ever going tits up during whatever it is I'm watching. If there are any lags or glitches, it's whenever the event is over, and only takes a channel change to sort.

Yeah it's gone to shit today

Mine will load in the end without vpn but it takes about 30 seconds

Edit: down Now

Another service gone the same way as sm. If you need a vpn it's not worthwhile. Shouldn't have to pay for something on top of a subscription, no matter how kosha or not it is.

Motty · « **Reply #1253 on:** January 20, 2018, 04:35:00 pm »

They have changed things around on Friday to beat the blocks once and for all, probably just teething problems with that.

And it's not down for me, working sound.

If you are willing to pay a little bit more than what flawless costs, go with Vader. It's the best I've used by far.

I would agree, plus you can use it on 3 devices simultaneously. Will be renewing my sub this month.

Depends on who you sub from, £60-65 for 6 months usually.

My SM sub expires tomorrow

They have been awesome recently for me even with a VPN on but I just don't want to pay with bitcoin which means I need a new service. FL seems to be used quite a lot but reading the comments on here I'm not sure they will have a working stream for our game tomorrow. Is there any other widely used service I can look into? Unless people think I should go with FL for tomorrow?

Flawless has been working with a vpn for me on my phone. The problem i have is i can't get a free one on the Nvidia shield. If you've got a vpn already it should work okay. A 48hr trial is a couple of quid.

Wool · « **Reply #1266 on:** January 21, 2018, 05:55:56 pm »

No issues at all today, no VPN needed either.

Sounds good. Will go with the trial and see how it goes.

Floorless only working for me with a VPN today but sound with it on. Just seen the FB post saying they have tweaked the fix and rolled out another update, version 0.8. It's not showing on mine yet but will see in a couple of days. I've updated the url on perfect player so that's good to go now anyway.

What will happen when the block hits them though, I was going to get Vader over Christmas as a back up with all our non televised matches but FL was pretty sound with a VPN that I have now anyway. The block seems to be getting to everyone eventually.

My sub is currently offering 6 months for £20 with a promo code of flawless

Quite a few have moved over from FL this weekend it seems

blert596 · « **Reply #1272 on:** January 23, 2018, 02:29:05 pm »

To be honest Flooorless was pretty poor over the weekend what with all the various URL changes/codes generated etc for all the different systems. However, they did say it was going to be painful. I couldnt even log into it at various times over the weekend and when I could it was constantly buffering and then kicking me out of the stream, or at times out of the add on itself. (I'm using it through Kodi)

They updated the add on yesterday and our match streamed perfectly for me on Full HD. No VPN and I'm on VM.

Hopefully thats it sorted.

Am going to look at putting it on my Samsung TV on the iptv app. I tried it on my Hisense TV and it just errored with URL not found. There's new instructions out now so I'll give it a go on both and see what happens.

I switched from Kodi to Smart iptv and there is no looking back, it has lived up to it's name so far (Flawlss). I had to update the url last night but no bother, perfect again after.

Having tried V (albeit through a hooky deal I got ) I'd be happy enough to sign up for another sub, streams are really good quality and nice be to able to get it on three devices at once. Never had to use a VPN in the time I used it. Match Centre was good.

Not used PP myself but you will find putting the url in easier if you get the fire remote app for your phone.

If using FL they have a url generator which shortens the links.
