I switched to Supernews for the same reason. No issues so far.

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to sign up now.

Try doing it through PayPal.

I used PayPal. It worked.

EDIT: Thanks Mike. I tried it before I saw your reply and it worked

Damn, Supernews is awesome. I cancelled my Astraweb account.

I signed up with Xennews after ages with Astraweb. They're based in EU so no DMCA... So far they're excellent.

Ok I've noticed some issues with completion on Supernews, especially with some older HBO shows. Fortunately I still have my block Astraweb account, so I added it as a backup account in SABnzbd and it pulled the missing blocks that Supernews didn't. Just an FYI for anyone interested. The block account should last for a long time because it uses at most a few MB to fill in the missing blocks.

Thanks for the heads-up I haven't had any issues thus far (touch wood).

Don't bother.

EU doesn't matter btw.

HBO are well known for making sure their shows get taken down swiftly.

Hehe, I thought I'd just put it out there. It's not the providers fault
