Griffo63 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 This morning Sky News seems blacked out - the error message says 'uploader not accessible in your country' Anyone else having this problem or know what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeab1980 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) On what platform? Just checked my two streams both working on sky news Edited August 15, 2017 by jeab1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss1960 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I still receive Sky News on TMN Cable in Pattaya. Sky has replaced Fox News just 3 or 4 days ago.Sent from my HTC 10 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) started last evening. Thought maybe it was the Junta trying to cut out outside media but can not get it through a UK VPN either so seems to be a Sky issue perhaps ?

JaiMaai Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I made this post at the end of last week when someone else reported a problem. It was working then but now seems to be down / blocked in Thailand. Unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo63 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks all. Yes the problem seems to be via YouTube. IPTV is ok. Will try linking direct to Sky News website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I was just watching it on WETV in Chiang Mai. Could be more than Sky though. Fox is almost impossible to watch because they are having big trouble with sound, and even occasional blackouts. Al Jazira and the Asia channel is fine though, so not all foreign news.

rbkk Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sky News Live on Youtube and on their website does now appear to be 'geo-blocked.'

Golden Triangle Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 No problem with Sky News on TMN in Patts, having awful trouble trying to get BBC Radio 2 on my LG TV, if any one else has one can you try for me and report back ? It's never been a problem before, thanks and sorry for hijacking the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithcresswell Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Sky news still blocked this morning using safari on my mac, but works when using VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobwolf Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The problem is not Sky. The local Cable company is shit and just does not want to pay or has no idea what to do with the system. It is the same shambles in Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userabcd Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Sky News blocked in Thailand for me on you tube and also on the Sky News live web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It is blocked on YouTube. I've written to them asking why (no commercial clashes, surely?) but have had no response during the 24 hours since. A friend in Dubai has the same problem so yes, as others have said, it's geo-blocked. Of course, I can still watch it courtesy of Nord, so really, what is their point in blocking it.

Hola (set to UK...) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unlimited-free-vpn-hola/gkojfkhlekighikafcpjkiklfbnlmeio?hl=en I did a bit of research yesterday on free VPNs, and all the ones I looked at limit the speed and amount of data allowed. I decided to pay for Nord on the laptop I use for tv. I've used Avast on my regular laptop for over a year but i'm getting tired of their endless prompts to upgrade the antivirus software I also have with them so will drop them when my subscription runs out.

Roger Harris Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Tried loading sky news laptop ( not available in your country ) but you can still get it via vpn free. Load google chrome, add zenmate vpn, choice of 4 countries. Then load news.sky.com/watch-live it works, just been watching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petedk Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I noticed that Sky News is not working from their own channel, so I used IPTV and it didn't work either. All the other British tv stations worked.Arrived in my office and tried the same IPTV today and Sky News worked fine.Can it be True blocking it?
