L1onheartNew Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Thanks for all the help on this. If it is a monthly subscription a la Latics Player, which incidentally will never be the same, it will be excellent. For those planning on using a VPN, be careful. Apparently, Netflix hire uni students to identify vpn access to create access blockers and trackers. Netflix then record the masked IP and pass on to the telcos. I assume it is then passed on to the authorities. Always amazes me when companies go to such lengths to "protect" their content when authorities no longer seem to bat an eyelid to sites like pornhub. Not that i would ever know this to be true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'd be surprised if anything reached the telcos or authorities. AFAIK Netflix just block your connection. VPNs aren't illegal (well, not in this country). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Depends on the quality of the VPN you use. I have a paid one that works well enough for Sky Go on my iPad so even Apple products which are notoriously difficult to circumvent rules have the capabilities of accessing premium services cross borders.

Crusoe Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/ This is an excellent list of VPNs, but it's very detailed. Worth getting familiar with what they rate them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I had a look at VPNs last night. Never used one before. I believe Windscribe is a free one that apparently seems easy to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you have a basic idea of what you are using it for and why, you should be able to use it.* OpenVPN Connect by OpenVPN Technologieshttps://appsto.re/gb/nVhmJ.i Free ones are fine but you need the bandwidth to stream video which you don't tend to get with them. *to caveat, I haven't tried it with ifollow so the risk is yours.

Stagger Lee Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well I joined up to ifollow it was not an easy thing to do. I used the same log in details as my HD player but no where did it tell you if the old HD player subscription would be cancelled. I notice that they are no longer deducting the £5 per month so am i safe in assuming it has been cancelled permanently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagger Lee Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 So who will be doing the tv commentry of the latics games or will it just be the basic video with the radio type commentry that Gordon used to do that people in the UK will still get?

I have been unable to access my subscription since they took over. I actually renewed , when prompted by them, even though it didn't run out till the middle of August. After a lot of "suggestions" to get the service, I cancelled the new subscription....which they had to refund! I then sent an email that technically they owed me 3 months refund on my existing subscription. Not heard a dickie bird!!! Really annoyed as I have now lost a service that I have had for many years.

Scapegoat Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I am tempted by the iFollow £110 sub and a VPN if it works - concern is that whilst a VPN will allow me to watch iFollow by fooling it into thinking I am not in the UK, its the process of setting it up in the first place I am unsure of. I will need to provide payment details and a billing address - as I don't have an international bank account I cannot see how I would get this to work? When people in Spain have Sky subscriptions, they are normally linked to a UK address and bank account I think. If someone gets this to work I am having it. I am a ST holder, and will still go to my normal amount of away games - but if I get 10-15 games a season on this I wouldn't normally see I'd be happy.

Stagger Lee Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I would imagine they are all over this VPN stuff and would not be surprised if the first month or so saw tens of thousands people paying them a subscription because the VPN seemed at first to negate the the systems they have in place. Suddenly they 'discover' a way to block them after they bank the money - a lot of money - then shut them all down and keep the cash. It's actually a great business model, people can't sue them or claim back their money and they don't have to provide the bandwidth to service them. Kerching!

BP1960 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) I'm with Latics Player on a yearly subscription until August 10th, even though I cant access the service anymore as it won't let me log in. Will this period of unaccesibilty automatically be refunded to me, and how much will the new service subsctition cost if I were to join after my current one expires?

Nohairdontcare Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 All in all, I'm dreading having to sort out getting commentary sorted once the new season kicks off... All I know is what I previously/am now subscribed to probably won't work, plus there doesn't seem to be an app. Boo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInAus Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Did you check your bank account BP? My annual subscription balance was refunded over a month ago, but as mine only ran until August, the amount refunded was small. I am so excited I get to actually watch the matches now with ifollow, just hope the quality is good enough. I also wish Gordon was still with us, I am really going to miss his commentary.
