Anyone watch Sportsmania on their phone?

Post by TheOriginalLongsider » Mon Jan 16, 2017 9:27 pm

I can connect using the Matrix TV Browser app when I'm connected to wifi but not on 4G. Any ideas? I'm on GiffGaff

Any alternative apps?

I use kodi and the add-in, works fine. Available on Android, don't know about Apple.

Works fine via the website on my humble Tesco Hudl 2 tablet.
Log onto the Sportsmania website and watch the streams there rather than using Kodi.

Solved. Apparently EE and O2 block it. Install the app FreeVPN and Matrix TV works fine on 4G

Try it. Excellent quality!

Thanks Longsider!

Does Matrix TV work with an amazon fire box?

I use kodi on my amazon fire box to watch Sportsmania. Just google it as there are plenty of guides how to set it up. Matrix TV is just to watch the same thing but on your phone.

Cheers for the matrix tv tip. Works fine with Vodafone (for now). Previously just used to log in with safari but wasn't particularly user friendly
Is that vpn thing ok. Looked a bit dodgy - seemed to want a lot of passwords/thumbprints/settings access

Well I've only used the vpn to test it out. I'm only going to switch it on when I need it then switch back off again. If you don't need it don't download it.
