BangkokNicky Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 I wonder why this has happened .. What are the reason anyway am looking at al jazeera .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 A friend in Dubai has experienced the same. I wrote to Sky and asked why they were blocking it and after three days have received no response. Seems weird to me to produce something and then prevent people from seeing it. We live in a strange world. We also live in a VPN world so what exactly are they trying to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalbanana Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just watch it free without a VPN using one of the m3u8 urls. FluxusTV has them, but there must be many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingamabob Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Fox have taken this action for some reason. Strange, given that they virtually own Sky anyway. Forgive ignorance, but what is VPN ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkerry Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Like many of us, I went to watch Sky on YouTube last night for a live update on what was happening in Barcelona and discovered it was blocked in Thailand. Normally whenever there is a major breaking news story the number of people watching on YouTube quickly hits 20k+ but last night I didn't see more than 3k, after I changed to a UK IP, so licensing changes makes sense. 19 minutes ago, Thingamabob said: Fox have taken this action for some reason. Strange, given that they virtually own Sky anyway. Forgive ignorance, but what is VPN ? VPN = Virtual Private Network i.e. can be used to make someone think you are somewhere when you're not.

tryasimight Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) I guess they see themselves as running a business and not a public service. Fair enough I think. Pay per view I think it is called. Not much different to the newspapers enticing people to view online. Only to find....the article you wish to view is for premium members only......sign on the dotted line along with credit card details. Offer a free service initially to get market penetration.....then ask for money. Edited August 18, 2017 by tryasimight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no logical sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalbanana Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 There are loads of free Sky News HD links that don't need a VPN on the latest Bennu addon for Kodi as another way to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
