Unknown user Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Is the SM issue once solved going to require us to have a VPN or not? Don't wanna pay for something I will not need. I am a bit of a tightfisted ***** The official line is that it'll be a few weeks til a vpn isn't needed. In the meantime you can get a free month's trial with several vpn providers, apparently.

Gerd Muller Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I have signed up to PureVPN. Using the sportsmania build on kodi, BT Sports 1, working fine when connected through Netherlands. Will gladly pay for a VPN if I know it's going to work. It's basically the same as two months skysports and BT. Think it's was $72 for the year.

Regular John Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Signed up for the days trial on AceTV and rangerstv was faultless throughout. Thinking about binning ultimatemania and going with these guys for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beave1874 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Signed up for the days trial on AceTV and rangerstv was faultless throughout. Thinking about binning ultimatemania and going with these guys for a while. Thinking same tbh. That was faultless thru ACE. One hesitation I have is that Sportsmania does have Sports On Demand where you can watch playback i.e. WWE for the wee lad. Does ACE have anything like this?

Homme Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I can't get a stream of a single thing in sportsnation.

I've tried on matrix, the app and kodi but no luck Exact same for me. Only way it worked was using the vpn I had bought and watching through matrix app on phone. Didn't work through app or matrix on android box or kodi or SPMC on android box. Getting to stage of not using sportsmania anymore. Will keep up to date with them but think the game is up.

Space Mackerel Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Pmsfl honestly. Honest question, is needing a vpn only necessary when using kodi? As all else on android box is currently working fine, e.g. terrarium, Amazon prime, YouTube etc. Mon the JT's. You have to ask yourself... what is a VPN and do I need one first?

gashauskis9 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 My only concern with ACE is that the volume of folk switching over from SM might grind the streaming to a halt.

Rudolf's Mate Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 My only concern with ACE is that the volume of folk switching over from SM might grind the streaming to a halt. Someone more techy than me will hopefully say this isn't the case! In the early days similar thing happened with Mania. They had to upgrade their servers several times to allow for the influx of new users. Unfortunately we won't know until it happens, how they'll deal with it. I might be wrong but I think Ace has been around a while but we're providing services for satellite boxes. Someone else might be able to confirm.

Gerd Muller Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Sportsmania was ?26 for 6 months. ?50 for the year. AceTV is ?10 a month. Is that the cheapest cost of AceTV? I'd only use it for the sports and not sure I'll continue after the month is up. Good to test it out I suppose. I noticed something about linking it up to a TV guide so might do that and it'll probably be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucky Thompson Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm watching Fox sports on mania just now and it's perfect. I think there will only be problems when EPL games are on. I'm going to stick with them and see. I use it for NFL and other sports anyway. Also Mania have closed their facebook because of all the abuse they are getting. They said they are trying their best regarding the EPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucky Thompson Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 As soon as the Newcastle game started Mania stopped working all together. I can't even watch a movie on Exodus either.

onwards and upwards Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 As soon as the Newcastle game started Mania stopped working all together. I can't even watch a movie on Exodus either. Have the internet providers blocked all streaming when the EPL is on?? I'm having the same problem whenever Sky are showing an EPL match live. Internet Service Providers are obviously blocking any live streams in the UK, hence the need for a VPN. That's my take on it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
