Default ZXCV

Site Closure @ 2014-07-28 00:28:13 GMT

It's with a heavy heart that I inform you of the proactive shutdown of zxcv this week. Given the current atmosphere surrounding sharing of commerical (television and the like) content, we're uncomfortable with continuing this site any longer. We are doing free leech as of now and the site will be permanently closed August 1st, 2014. Thank you for many great years and your support.

~ ZXCV Staff.

Sad to see another one go but there are still plenty of other sources. TV chaos is still going but you can find everything you need on non-UK specific sites as well - kickass for instance

The growing availability of streaming options is making sites like ZXCV less relevant anyway - and you don't have to worry about maintaining silly ratios

Great. Just got back from 8 weeks away to find this site not working. If anyone has any suggestions for an alternative, please let me know.

Thanks!

We can talk about it now its gone.

MiniBrit: My main source for UK TV is newsgroups with Sick Beard doing the heavy lifting. But TVchaosuk seems reasonable (not as good as the box, I am seeing holes already), it is open for sign ups.

Zulu, do you get 4oD and 5 on demand on your Samsung Blu Ray player? Those 2 don't work on UK Roku (but iPlayer and ITV do).

Yeah, can get them on Samsung. I'm sure you can add them on UK Roku - 5 on Demand and 4oD are definitely on there but I'll check tonight and let you know

Those channels are both available on the UK Roku but don't work (in Australia) and are not supported by unblock-us.com - do those two channels both work on your Samsung?

That's interesting. Both channels work on my Samsung and UK Roku

I'm using smartydns but I've had trials with other DNS redirects that have not worked with certain channels

Getflix is another that, I think, works with all channels
