Line tests indicate nothing wrong at the exchange.

@afriman, this is not just some service, all internationally routed services seem to be affected. No worries, I am waiting patiently for the time being.
 
They still haven't added sky sports though, which is disappointing. I only enjoy English commentators
 
Will any of the channels cover the Ashes cricket?
 
Out of interest, does anyone still use this service? I used it in the beginning but stopped in favour of OffSide Stream and also the continuos downtime on Futubox. But now that OSS is no longer the "safest" option I need another way to get live sports.

Can someone who is still using Futubox please give me an update and if there are any new English channels added. Also I see Al-Jazeera Sport has been added but on Futubox website under english channels, there is no mention on them - are they indeed added and what channels?

Thanks in advance!
 
I'm using NTV - the guide's up and downs on futubox was to much of a hassle.

I tried NTV a few months back on the free trial and can't recall what the service was like unfortunately. How do you find it? Also is it your primary source for Live TV? I will only need it for Sports and maybe now and then to watch Discovery, History, kids channels for the kids ect.

Also what subscription did you take? It seems quite pricey but if the streams constantly work it seems alright. Also are there any HD channels? And do you have it running on a Roku?
 
The UK one, can't recall the cost, seems about R180/pm

Its a lot more stable than Futubox, but I don't think it has HD.

Cancelled DSTV a few years ago.

And how are you viewing the content, as in what device are you using?

Pi/Microserver (Openelec/XBMC)

I find the application a bit slow on the Pi, but its fine on the microserver.

Ahhh OK cool. I'd much prefer to have it working through my Roku as my Microserver is setup to run Plex ect and not connected to my TV. Will have a look to see if it is possible to have it on the Roku.

Correct, no HD unfortunately. UK package is £14.99, and the ultimate package is £19.99, which includes the russian channels etc.

I am rather sure that sky will cover the Ashes.
 
i still use Futubox, and en.aljazeerasports.net. Most people stopped using futubox because of hassles with epg. I have setup a server that generates the guide automatically for the channels i watch. under the guide section on your IPTVSimple addon, just add the following URL, http://www.futuboxepg.tctmedia.net/epg.XML and you will never have to worry about a guide again. I also did something similar for the guys who run offside streams, but lately, its not safe site thb, and streams are always down.
