Brit TV seems to have disappeared from Filmon?? Watching this morning, come home from work and now no on

duffer

Yes same for me on the iPad app although the Android app is working. There are only 5 UK channels though: BBC 1-2, ITV, C4-5

sonofjoe

Ah! I can get it if I use the proxy settings, and like you Duffer, only the 5 channels?

sonofjoe

Statement on Filmon today!

Unfortunately due to a recent European court ruling, services such as ours have had to restrict the viewing of certain channels to their respective countries, therefore the only UK TV channels available will be the 4 main terrestrial channels.

Ciao Joe in Qualiano, maybe time to take a look at what you can get from www.thebox.bz, and on BBC and ITV etc. players via Exapt Shield. I can certainly get as many programmes as I can cope with.
ciao for now,
'o nonno

a sample of what I can choose from today, or watch the lot if so inclined :
Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Eastenders, Doctors, Bluestone 42, Spiral, Broadchurch, Lightfields, Shetland, Beyond Time, There Crash, and practically all the reality rubbish going. So why bother paying anybody for satellite dishes.

We have a proxy - should have paid for it, but due to the companies incompetence we don't pay and use it to get BBC iplayer etc etc.

Oh yeah we also have Brit Sky TV but thinking of binning it!

duffer

How big is your dish for UK Sky? Are you receiving C4 HD in the evenings?

sonofjoe

It's only a 90cm, we don't get BBC, ITV, or CH5 we can get C4 by adding extra channels! We don't have a HD receiver

So, there are new frequencies for the BBC this morning and some changes with the HD Channel.

I went back to film-on on the ipad last night after a long time away, had to do an upgrade but i see now that it's working betetr than ever, although yes there's only the 4 main channels .. (like it was in 1983!) . .but there are no sudden pauses now, which made it un-watchable for me before..
They put a stupid advert when you change channel but you can skip it after a few seconds (youtube style).

anyway I wanted to ask Duffer or anyone, is this thing good for hooking the ipad up to a proper telly?

I know we discussed this sometime ago but can't be bovvered to look for it again, plus there may have been some developments.
I have ipad 1.

thanks

duffer

Hi, that cable is perfectly fine but I have no practical experience of it because I can just push content to my TV without cables.

I suggest you PM Capo Boi as he is using his iPad in this way. There are some iOS limitations which prevent some apps from streaming live TV - but with Amazon you can always return it for a refund if it doesn't work with FilmOn.

MarkRD

Yes you're right .. thanks Duffs.

actually I just saw this one which costs 2 euros more but has more pluggy things on it..is it better?

duffer

How many pluggy things do you need?

MarkRD

You're asking me??

(some of you may remember an old Not the Nine O'Clock News sketch from the 80s where an 'older' man goes into a music store to buy a 'stereo' and is consequently ridiculed by the store assistant for his lack of knowledge ... I am now that 'older' person)
