Our game was fine today but struggled with sky sports games. Does seem to have been a little cryptic today. Stream listing not even on their website.

SportsNation has been really hard work the past few weeks, constantly dropping (for me) since the Joshua fight (I couldn't find one working link on SN) Sky Sports channels are a nightmare.

There's a new paid sub called RemoteTV that is getting some good reviews, so might be worth a whirl when my sub runs out.

They've tweeted today that their services have been attempted to be blocked. They are working on something new to overide this so we've been told not to panic.

Guys if you use SportsNation you need to join their Facebook group - Willo and the Admins regularly post updates on there. There's a link to the facebook group directly from the sportsnation website, I won't share it on here.

There's been issues with VPN's today apparently but they're working on it.

Anybody having problems with sportsmania at the minute?

I can access the United game but I'd prefer to cut my knob off with a rusty breadknife than watch that

It won't let me on the Sheff Wed game at all, either through the firestick or online...getting the message 'Cannot load M3U8: Cross domain access denied'

Had the Sheff Wed game on for a short while but it booted me off and there was a stock image saying something or other about being to the limit

I can't access any of the sky sports channels either

:roll:

Cheers Chucky, I thought it was just me. I have had exactly the same experience but resisted the
rusty breadknife scenario and finally gave up all hope of watching Owls v Huddersfax.
Shame really as I hear it's gone to extra time.

Hope they get it sorted soon or I will be asking for a refund.

Owls game is on SM.
Alledgedly if you go to the Calendar and look there then at 'Eleven' you will find it.

Yeah it's there alright, in a few locations, but they are all failing to load for some reason.

As stated earlier, the Moanyoo match was not a problem, so not sure what's going on.

An extra week is a nice gesture but, given it will be in the middle of the cricket season for me, is of no real use.

Have checked my speed and am getting 13 Mbps, so don't think it's that.
The United game was fine and in HD, but I would close the curtains if they
were playing in my back garden.

Not sure what this VPN lark is all about, so will need to do some research/reading on the matter.
Don't know why, but it seems a bit subversive to me, but I will give it a coat of looking at.

I'd not come across sportsmania before coming on here.

I ended up using Sportsaccess and very rarely have problems with multiple links and HD links for all Prem games.

Maybe a bit dearer than SM and you've got to pay in bitcoins but perhaps an alternate for those with persistent problems. Think they give a 24 hr trial.

As you may or may not be aware we experienced some issues with the EPL over the past week (Only if you were in the United Kingdom).

If you used Match Day Section 2 (Recommended) on Kodi / SPMC then you would of been fine, however if you used others then you may of experienced some issues.

We know what the issues are and if you are on our Facebook group you would of seen the updates from us.

We are implementing a brand new system at the end of the Football season so we are asking for your help and patience. We aren't the only IPTV company with these issues but we have a new system in place to make sure you guys are taken care of.

As a goodwill gesture and to thank you for your loyalty to The Mania Services we have decided to give you a free week extension to your existing subscription.


For the time being if you want to watch EPL we ask you either use the website or what we recommend is downloading Kodi or SPMC on to your device, Installing our Kodi Addon and going to Match Day Section 2 (Recommended).

PLEASE NOTE: Sunday 21st May 2017 due to the EPL having 10 games we do not have enough streamers to cover every game from the NBC source as not all games are covered on the NBC channels, however never fear we will show all games in Match Day Section 2 (recommended) on Kodi/SPMC only so if you want to watch your team on the final day of the season please follow the instructions on installing Kodi and our addon and from there you can go to Match Day Section 2 (recommended) on the addon and you will be fine.

We can't thank you enough for your patience in this matter, It's because of people like yourself that make this service what it is today so we thank you.

A quick side note: If you didn't know then we have our own build for The Mania Services, So if you don't have it installed on your Kodi / SPMC then feel free to follow this guide on how to install it: https://youtu.be/4_qI4TG_kSE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you already have the build then here is how to update it: https://youtu.be/8sRF-8LyIy4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Kind Regards

I think the reason they send out personal emails and have a 'Secret Group' status on FB is being slightly missed by publishing it in the public domain :o

A technical question for the IT experts out there:

Can you install a VPN onto a Sky Broadband Router?

I have read a few articles which suggest it might be possible or might not and admit to being confused with all the jargon.
