Watch every game live

[Batman]

dunno which one to watch at 3

may go for sunderland v arsenal

[Crouchie's Lawyer]

Anyone else watching it via iPad today? Watched the Man Utd game earlier on and watching the Arse game now, quality of the stream is not great. Could this be to do with the Egyptian servers? Keeps dropping out and picture is akin to the free streams we used to watch last season, not the HD kind we have been used to

[ChudSaint]

Had to disable my Overplay smartDNS and install Hola today to get it working today

 

Has anybody come up with a good reason to use Overplay and not Hola yet? My monthly Overplay is due to expire in a couple of days and as I've not got it working on PS3 yet and would rarely watch on IPad I'm considering not renewing...

[Crouchie's Lawyer]

I only use it on my iPad so I need overplay sadly but not very impressed today. I think the servers they use in Egypt are running incredibly slowly so I get about 5-10 seconds of poor quality visual then the Quicktime player loading screen constantly. I can still hear the sound but cannot see the picture.

 

Frustrating as hell. I have emailed Overplay to see what they suggest but I only have one working server address for Egypt (from the 4 they have given me) and the quality of the picture on this one is ****e

[Plumstead_Saint]

I'm getting geo-errors with OVerplay smart DNS. Has using Hola fixed it?

[whelk]

Me too on AJS app and must be down to Overplay

[Tractor_Saint]

Hola fixes it. I wonder if AJS have blocked Overplay proxies?

 

Still a great feed for the Arsenal game. Also good to see all the prem league goals go in on HD6 as they cut over to the other games.

My email back from support at Overplay reads as follows:

 

"At present aljazeerasport isn't supported.

 

We're investigating into it from our end.

 

There is currently some issues ongoing with the internet backbone where our servers are located in Egypt. We're investigating alternatives for rerouting around the problems at present.

 

However, we do not have an ETA on it.... blah blah blah"

 

So looks like it could be an Overplay issue which isn't good.

 

I have turned on my second (unreliable) laptop and starting to use Hola which is working fine. Shame you cant use Hola on the iPad!

[Pastor Patrón]

I've got Overplay and it's working fine

 

Edit: Oh s#ht, no its not ffs

[S-Clarke]

Not had any luck what so ever today. Overplay is not working, and I doubt it ever will again for this site - sounds like they've cottoned on.

 

Also Hola simply won't work for me. Installed, set it to Egypt, go to login to the aljazera site - ''You have exceeded your login attempts''. Brilliant.

 

So I contact the site, only to be told I don't have an account with them.

 

If I turn off Hola and I'm seen as UK, it let's me login ok but obviously all streams are geo blocked. Me thinks the ISP's have cottoned onto it.

 

It was good whilst it lasted. Now back to look for crappy streams!

[Tractor_Saint]

Are you trying to log in from your original machine? For some reason I can only log in from the laptop I registered my account with. I've just bought a new laptop and tried to get that to work but exceeded logins etc. They reset it really quickly so I went back to the other laptop and all is working (through Hola not Overplay).

 

Suggest you try to get it reset again via their site.

Yep, same machine. The problem is I've asked them to reset it, but they say they cannot find my account. Even though I can log in to it if Hola isn't running.

 

Probably my ISP has cottoned onto it.

[Valesaint]

I am having problems logging in today as it is saying that my Egyptian VPN is not supported. I cannot find anywhere to cancel my Al Jazeera account on the IPad. I need this so I can upgrade to a season pass if I decide to carry on with it. I assume that I can cancel through PayPal.

[Stepgar]

Have not tried it on the ipad but worked well on the iMac once i downloaded Hola. Worked on both Firefox and Chrome.

[View From The Top]

No problems for me.

[syd_barrett_saint]

Hola still working fine for me, watching Bale's debut right now.

[Baldbarbarian]

I have Hola working fine as well, egyptian vpn setting.

[Crouchie Crouchie]

Working fine again for me. New update for AJS sport is also available on apple store, but you need to change country to Egypt again.

[whelk]

Overplay have fixed the issue I think. Their response:

 

Hello,

 

Thank you for contacting OverPlay.net

 

We regret the inconvenience you have experienced due to some technical difficulties.

 

Could you please login to your OverPlay account, click on "SmartDNS" tab to re-activate the SmartDNS service for your IP address at:

 

http://overplay.net/s

 

You will need to wait up to 60 seconds for it to take effect, then please clear your web browser cache and cookies then retry accessing the Al Jazeera Sport website and see if that works fine for you.

 

If you are still unable to access Al Jazeera Sport with our SmartDNS service, please help us with the device/Operating system you are using.

 

Also, please let us know the complete result displayed at the following link:

[Plumstead_Saint]

Same here, and doing that fixed it for me.

hola also working well on chrome - might save myself the cost of smartDNS....

[Edmonton Saint]

It has been working fine, but now today it is saying geoblocked? any ideas?

[Stepgar]

Just tried to get on and having the same trouble. Using Chrome with HOLA

[channonball]

I've cancelled subscription for now its getting too unreliable

[mcjwills]

Am geo-blocked on Hola going to cancel my subscription glad I only paid for a month at a time

Had mine month at a time via paypal. As Hola is now geoblocked I'll just not bother at all.

Guys, Im sorry to hear of your problems but not all is lost. Go to the following site, close the small screen in the middle whenever it appears and choose your channel. You have all the SKY, Al Jazeera, ESPN and many more Sports channels. Besides you have European Channels on another page. Quality is really good

Channels are not geoblocked

[mcjwills]

Had mine month at a time via paypal. As Hola is now geoblocked I'll just not bother at all.

 

You still have to cancel but you can access the site to cancel. Your subscription is on repeat, so the payments are auto renewed.

In other words Al Jazerra have blocked SmartDNS like they're doing with other IP's on instructions from SKY UK

[Baldbarbarian]

still working for me with hola

[lnb203]

No luck recently with either Hola or Smart DNS. Looks like this gravy train has crashed. Gutted, it was a top service, much more comprehensive than crap like SKY and BT etc.

 

On Saturday I will therefore be watching Soton on some jerky, highly pixelated, ad filled dodgy stream, while my pals who live in Hong Kong and USA (etc) will be watching in glorious HD. Bit of a joke that in order to gain access to all the English premiership matches one needs to emigrate from England.

[ChudSaint]

Geoblocked on Overplay Smart DNS and Hola this morning, looks like that's the end of that then, shame but if it seems to good to be true it normally is...

Well said. We really do need to catch up in this country. If Sky or Virgin offered every premier league game online for £15 a month pretty much every household would snap it up so they wouldn't be losing money I'm sure.

[Pat from Poole]

The thing I don't get is, where are the pubs getting the games from?

[S-Clarke]

Yep, this ship has sailed. Did work again via overplay for me earlier this week, but has now gone again. Hola simply won't work for me, so they're in the process of blocking it all by the looks of it.

 

This was great whilst it lasted.

[mcjwills]

What provider are you with?

[Baldbarbarian]

What provider are you with?

 

Virgin Media mate, there are plenty of VPNs out there to use.

[syd_barrett_saint]

Virgin Media mate, there are plenty of VPNs out there to use.

 

Is anyone else using a different VPN with Egyptian IP to watch Al Jazeera successfully? I am looking into other VPN services but all paid so far and don't want to make the jump unless I know it will work.

 

Hola and Overplay both stopped working for me today :-(

[hypochondriac]

Virgin Media mate, there are plenty of VPNs out there to use.

 

Care to give an example? I've tried three and none work so far.

[andybeal]

Works for me fine on Overplay - changed my location settings on Macbook to 'Automatic' and it now works fine

I just got that, refreshed the stream and it now works ok again. Just a stream glitch I think.

Got mine working again via Unotelly.com trial, many thanks, hopefully it'll still be there tomorrow afternoon..

Cheers. I had refreshed a few times and it didn't work. So I tried refreshing several times more, and eventually it came back.
