Chester™ Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) I know but I cannot get in even now! Dunno what's wrong grrrr The channels will be back up shortly. Their support forum is best for info as to why things are 'wrong'. As a heads up for everyone, they've been a bit concerned regarding people posting lots of details and info outwith their forum.

Apart from the Clubs teams section, I doubt I'll be going to Ace after my months up. My main gripe isnt I cant watch EPL games. Its that they shut down all channels, so for those of us that like watching other sports, we get penalised for it. Tomorrow, for example, there's a game on at 8pm. I couldnt give two shiny shits about it, but I do want to watch the Speedway thats on BT. Now I cant, unless I find another option (and a VPN is no use to me because I've a first gen firestick).

Thought they said that to watch EPL games was to go into the Matchday section? These streams are for US or global audiences I take it? The UK Sky streams only work with a VPN. By the way, I would upgrade your hardware, these 1st gen sticks are shite and not up to the task. I think you're pishing into the wind for starters.

Watching EPL streams, yes, go into the Matchday section but thats because their servers arent blocked using that one. They still turn off all other channels throughout EPL coverage. As for upgrading, thats not an option at the minute. TBH, though, I've had absolutely zero issues with my stick. Everything has worked perfectly since I got it.

Unknown user Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm sticking with SM too bud, keep the faith an all that. To each their own and all that, but it seems obvious to me that the authorities have turned their attention to Mania, and therefore it's just a matter of time. I hear Flawless is good too by the way.

Everything has worked perfectly since I got it. My mate brought his 1st gen stick round on Thursday to do a fresh install, it was slow as ****, clunky and had trouble loading v17.3. I had my new Fire TV hooked up and he even agreed it was like night and day. The new sticks are ?40, boxes are ?80. If you're into streaming then it's a no brainier to upgrade.
