Looks interesting, payment by debit /credit card. Any idea if this would be a problem ( assuming have to run thru an Aussie server)

Definitely better off paying a subscription even on VPN, no lag, no buffering and HD.

agreed, but will they accept a UK card. Was hoping for a paypal option but doesn't seem to exist

I'm set up to subscribe via PayPal and would suggest you do likewise to avoid any payment restrictions.
If you get blocked attempting to install the App onto your phone, installing it via a mobile VPN should circumvent the issue.

Good news there is a paypal option. It would be installed on an Android box connected to nice big TV for viewing

I'm surprised about TMS not being available as I thought it was a world wide thing.

Sunny today and the overseas TMS stream is working perfectly today, well the build up anyway.

Perhaps you could start a thread to compare IPTVs mentioning what to look out for etc (I wouldn't know). There must be a few others on here that use them and could be useful for others.

Download Opera browser, comes with free VPN and a built-in Ad Blocker ;

Holy shit, I've been using Opera anyway, and had no idea it had a VPN option. Thanks.

Do your homework before you join one as a lot just disappear. Also check if they have their own dedicated app and what their support is like. Some will just take your money and if you cannot get it to work then tough, if they do that there is not a lot you can do. £50 a year is the most you should pay.
I wouldn't start a thread about it unless you ask Bozza first, he might not like it and I can see why.

I've struggled to download the app here in the UK, even with a VPN running, if anyone has any hints how to get this app here that would be great.

I just googled optus sport apk and downloaded it straight to my phone - as a test only. I will not install as it is not the intended device.

Is that a google phone app? Might explain why I can’t get it to my iPhone. Daft thing is I had it on my iphone and iPad when I was in Aus last year but deleted them when I got back as didn’t imagine I’d need them, since BT took a bigger slice of the footie, and amazon next season, it might be a good idea to get back on Optus as I have access to an Optus log in.

Got NBC Gold with my UK card yes.

I have Nord VPN on both granddaughters laptops and mine but have had to take it off of mine as the message comes up Sky Go cannot be watched outside of the uk. So uninstalled Nord and watching the West Ham v Arsenal game on my laptop and will watch our game on one of the granddaughters.

I'm guessing that you've left the VPN on with a non UK country selected. You just need to turn it off.

I use Sky Go from Asia regularly with a VPN.
