Re: Film on
There's mention on another forum that the streams play for a couple of minutes then require a subscription eve through the likes of Mobdro that take the streams directly and not through the Filmon app. Will have a look when I go back downstairs. Plenty of other options available even in Modbro as it has multiple streams for most channels only one of which is from Filmon.
Sign of the times I fear, free is going away.

Re: Film on
Quick test and it seems that the posts are correct. Tried BBC and ITV streams through Mobdro and a Kodi add-on. Both played for a couple of minutes then went away.

Re: Film on
Interesting.
Just tried Win 10, which is connected by VPN to UK. That also stopped after a couple of minutes.

Re: Film on
Not working on my ipad or computer for more than 2 minutes. However, on the Fire stick Kodi it's not working on one filmon addon but on another called Filmon simple, it's working fine.
It's not a problem for me as I've never been a fan on a big screen due to its low quality streams. I have used it on my Ipad and now the only similar one working is ToView or using the native apps for BBC, ITV &Channel 4, which all offer live and catchup TV.
I have the added bonus of Sky-go offering all Free view and Sky channels except BBC, which seems to me to be the best option if you can find a supplier or even better if you have a family member with sky back in the UK willing to give you access to their account.
On the Ipad, it's not even necessary to have a DNS server because ithere are quite a few free VPN services as well.

Re: Film on
Same here, my parents one went off earlier and we have tried several websites here in the office.
Shame, but its been free for a year or so? I wonder how many people will pay for it.

Re: Film on
If its only 3 euro a week I will buy that for them - seems a bit naughty they turned it off over night with no warning.
I hear from a friend that a load if the channels available with the Intelsat package have been encrypted now too, no more Disney or sky sports etc.

Re: Film on
I've just tried it this morning on W10 and it's been going for around an hour now.
But I hear it's off on other devices locally. Odd.
Perhaps W10 will go down soon too.

Were you trying it on the app or in a browser? Seems it still works on the app how long for who knows.spanish_lad wrote:I tried last night on a win 7 and a win 10 machine and they both went off after two minutes ?

Both times in the browser. Tvcatchup doesn't work now either.

Re: Film on
I've noticed in the past that TVcatchup/Toview can be pretty fussy with VPN or DNS services. Sure I recall reading some time ago that they were embroiled in a court case and since then have been one of the strictest services in trying to keep it UK only. Right Now it works on my pc via the web, but the android app doesn't. Go figure...

Re: Film on
It's been free for a long time, at least since our terrestrial channels first disappeared. You used to be able to record up to 10 hours free and download it too, so I miss that. It never played live very well though on our internet, but the recorded programmes were good quality. Hope the old Intelsat stays working for a while longer!spanish_lad wrote:

Re: Film on
Of course, with Now TV or Amazon Fire stick there is no need to record anything. It's all there to watch when you want. Filmon's record quality doesn't even come close especially when compared to the BBC
