KittenKong Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 6 minutes ago, Crossy said: Yes it's definitely working, did you download from the website, I have V 3.4.153. Yes, direct from their website though it doesnt show the version number as it never gets beyond the "connecting to licence server" message which overlays the place where the version number is shown. I tried it with my VPN also and it still doesnt work, so it cant be a 3BB/DNS problem. Strange. I'll try it on my laptop later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what people like you fail to understand, one of the things about expat is the simplicity of operation, my wife loved it. If you wish to fart about with the 'free' options that is up to you but do not try and make out its the best thing since sliced bread. Expat is back up and running, watched Masterchef and Question Time last night, bit disappointed with the reduced channels, wanted to watch King Charles III. Their handling of the situation is a bit pathetic, I am off to the UK in a few weeks and my subscription runs out when I am away so see what the position is when I get back.

New beginnings Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 When initially signing on to Thai Expat TV just received basic channels as others have stated. However when I switch on my VPN, use IPVanish, and link to Singapore not only do I receive all the premium channels but also the Australian channels that I do not subscribe to.

Its a shame because the service has been great over the last few years. However it is not looking good. My priority is sport, does anyone have an alternative option to 365 Sport? I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with watchglobal.tv? http://www.watchglobal.tv/ any feedback would be appreciated. I use watchglobal.tv they have a massive channel lineup including all the sports channels from UK, US and Canada. All channels are live with no catch up available. The service always works well.

I used to have a UK Tivo in Europe and havent watched live TV for more than 12 years. Once you lose the habit it's hard to go back. I get 10 days catch up, introduced a while back, which is very useful and also the recording facility. When I built my house about 7 years ago I had a large dish fitted and we used to watch movies on the foreign channels that were in English but they all disappeared in favour of dubbed movies. I tried various ways of trying to get TV but they were all a bit of a hassle till I came across expat. Be a bit of a pain if I have to start messing about again.
