BT SPORTS APP not working over VPN

[paul545]

Anyone else experiencing problems using the BT sport App since it was updated on the 20th Jan 2015? Using Strong VPN. Contacted them and they believe BT are not using IP to determine where you are now.

Not being sure of the situation and the location or service provider I would suggest you perhaps use HOLA a Google app that gives access to ITV and BBC in the U.K one can also access American content too.Firefox has a similar app all free add on apps..

Thanks for the feedback I will have a look at that. My ITV & BBC TV apps on my iPad are working correctly as was the BT sports App until last weekend but is now being blocked. BT are a telecommunications company so if anyone can monitor and block VPN lines they can. I have heard rumours that Netflix are also looking at doing the same to prevent people using their apps overseas. Thin edge of the wedge and the end of VPN?
