neal-jambos Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 That's why i'm out the loop i use Ace now. But i seem to recall they removed the links to Sly during matches. Rendering a VPN useless anyway! You can still get access to sky links with a vpn. The match day links they have usually work better on my box though. Got a vpn for 3 months but will see what this update is like on sm before I renew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) That's why i'm out the loop i use Ace now. But i seem to recall they removed the links to Sly during matches. Rendering a VPN useless anyway! They did remove them bud and I wasn't actually aware they'd changed this and was confused when some were saying they'd now got them back. Tried it myself and was able to get them. Also managed to get Ace working on my iPad with the VPN. It was partly down to user error Edited August 29, 2017 by Rudolf's Mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Religion Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'd hang fire with a vpn for sportsmania to see if their new plan will be about to get by the blocking of Premiership games. Shouldn't have issues this weekend with it being international games. Ok thanks mate. When is the SM update meant to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 My VPN gets streams working but it buffers really bad, end up just turning it off. Glad I only took a months trial with it.You trying switching the servers? Ipvanish you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyBatistuta Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 You trying switching the servers? Ipvanish you using? Yeah IPVanish bud. It normally tries to connect to Chicago, but I've tried all different cities and countries and buffers real bad. I'm watching NFL Network at the moment and it's perfect, but once I turn on the vpn, it works for a couple of minutes and then you just can't watch it.

Actually think mine works better with the VPN on. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPVanish was one of the ones that was reporting an actual speed increase in some instances. Kind Regards unluckyBatistuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuthy2k Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 getting a bit fed up with the firestick - plenty crashes of late plus slow buffering /stuttering streams.

AFTV Box 100%, 2 yrs ago i started with a firestick ,i lasted less than a month with it ( same issues as you ) before getting the AFTV Box. I use the firestick in the bedroom for streaming tv shows/ movies ( not live tv / sport ) and funnily enough it hardly buffers now, but i deffo recommend the AFTV Box if you are watching live sport.

Would it really make a difference? Whenever there's a new kodi release I like to leave it for a few weeks so I can set if its a stable one.
