This is where companies like Netflix can prosper, by taking abruptly-terminated shows and reviving them. That, and of course, delivering wholly unique content...

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

Yes, they can - that is a good point.

Is anyone getting Netflix to work these days? I keep getting the "You appear to be using a proxy/VPN..." message. I'm thinking of cancelling my sub.

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

No problems, but then again, I'm only running the local version through my Fetch TV STB - so I guess that doesn't count.

I'm using Smart DNS Proxy and it's still working

If this one falls over I'm going to cancel Netflix and stick with Hulu and Amazon - and torrents

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

Cool, thanks. I can pretty much handle losing Netflix and Hulu but if the iPlayer goes my wife will go mental.

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

The BBC is already looking at ways to charge for iplayer - which kind of makes sense as the UK's pathetic TV tax is totally outdated in the digital era

As it stands I don't know why anyone in the UK with a decent internet connection would pay the TV tax

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

Is iPlayer working for you? I've been getting the "something went wrong" message for a couple of days on my Roku? On my laptop the video doesn't load.

Watched it last night on smarthub

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

OK, thanks.

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

Switched from SmartyDNS to Unlocator and now it works again, even Netflix!

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

The BBC may have a nasty up their sleeve with the Olympics coming up. "7" are trying to charge non-Telstra customers $20 for access to "36 channels" online (no mention of HD), and NBC in the states got reamed last time over their terrible coverage. You can see the providers wanting to recoup their payments, and the BBC wanting to oblige, and cut their bandwidth demands.

Don't be surprised if something comes along to stop you watching BBC live streams - it's a nice testbed for the Beeb and their aim of cutting off non-payers.

All part of the cat and mouse DNS providers are playing with Netflix. I've been seeing that NF had been winning but it now looks like the DNS boys are fighting back!

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

I hope the BBC give us the opportunity to pay for their content rather than cut us all off. I'd be happy to buy a TV licence to watch iPlayer

Re: Streaming video - my experience
 

I think that's the way it will go. It would be very difficult for the BBC to stop iplayer from being used outside the UK
