Couldn't see anything last night on my home PC, it gave the message 'Scrambled' (like eggs?) but seems to be going ok on my office PC this morning.

Is that something to do with my provider being different? Experts?

It might be something to do with protections against some sites ..... but that could be rubbish.
I got scrambled on the first channel I tried. Tried the others and they all worked and then so did the first one too.

There is a lot more talk on this on the original thread in "The Lounge" where there are more computer experts on line.

I listened to the match last night on my headphones while watching the better picture on Rai, trouble was the FilmOn was 50 seconds behind doh!

I watched the match in HD on Sky Sports UK

I gave up with it last night, it kept stopping so went out to the local bar, had far too many glasses of the local vino.............good job they didn't win I would have been plastered.

Seems fine this morning. Anybody else have problems viewing it in the evening?

MarkRD

Yes! as i said it works fine on my office computer (daytime) but all scrambled on home PC (evenings) but I don't know if it's a question of connection or computer or something else. Have to take a day off to find out

I watched it on Italian Sky Sports, so ner to you! BTW, meant to tell you - if the feed is from UK Sky for a match then you get the commentary. Last night was from here so either nothing or Italian.

I was on the plane with a bunch of happy Barca supporters flying into Rome last night - I guess they stayed that way!! The airport and station in Rome had made an effort display wise for the match. Some of the displays were very cool!

Thanks to all. Yesterday I watched Emmerdale and Coronation Street and even the ads on ITV.Today I,m having problems. It hasn't been blocked out already has it? Just as I've discovered a new world.

Hints and tips: If you are already doing all these things then I can't help! Here goes:

Don't have any other internet reliant programmes running in the background - I only keep my virus protection on and that cuts into the programmes, not surprisingly, when it is downloading an update.

If you are getting streaming in one location and not another - check speed. I have the highest Telecomm offers and it still cuts out - my average speed is nearly 5.5mg so not bad.

If it goes to scramble, don't panic - it will be that your connection has dropped or your speed is low. Always use the lo speed options for the channels. This seems to help.

Expect it to drop during live programmes - guess the feed is more sensitive - but I've noticed in BGT for example, the ads never drop but the show does. So this will effect sports watched live too.

When a programme drops go the next channel up or down and start to load it, then go immediately back to the channel you want, this should sort it!

If all this fails, I'm guessing your speed will be the big decider in whether this service is for you or not. One way to check is to see if Alice are offering their TV service in your area, if they aren't you will almost certainly have problems with FilmOn.
