RockieOwl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I was planning to watch this with a VPN on my phone, but it wouldn't play. It was the same with other videos though. Now I have my VPN turned off, the other videos, highlights etc now work. So is there an issue with using the app with the VPN? Are other people able to watch this on their phone using a VPN? What about a tablet? Do you have to use the app or can you watch it in Chrome? I am thinking of getting a tablet to replace my broken laptop, so it's worth knowing if it works well with a tablet. I then got my girlfriend's laptop and downloaded Opera browser. When I found the VPN setting, it was stuck on Conecting and never connected. So I found a free VPN, Windscribe. Finally it worked with this, but got the stuttering picture that quite a few other people got. Did people who are overseas get this too? Perhaps its a VPN issue again? My internet speed shouldn't be an issue and adjusting the quality didn;t do anything other than adjust the quality. I still got it stuttering. I also ran out of my 2GB allowance from Windscribe as Nuhiu was coming on. I think it's a while till I will be using this just because of the fixtures. I think Burton is not on it? But will need to try a couple of things well in advance next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always hit and miss whether the vpn would connect, finally found if i disabled my antivirus temporarily it would connect every time. Just so we are clear I use AVG or Avast antivirus and there is an option to 'disable for 10 minutes' then I connect to Opera. Not sure if other antivirus software has this option but obviously its done at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Watched it, bit juddery but better than staring at Jeff Stalling for two hours Only real downside is that it froze just as we scored! Lads in the bar didn't mind too much and left in high alcohol induced high spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal M Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Yep - We only get league games. No cup games. Only saw the 2nd half today, but the video quality was flipping horrific. Constant stuttering. 1 I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Kidneys Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I watch on Chrome - each time it's usually spot on for first half and the second half gets a bit juddery. Think I may install opera for next time as suggested. Still very watchable though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kelliesleftnut Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Bear in mind I am no expert so this is only true in my mind, the only way the vpn could affect the quality of the video is if it is routing you from the other side of the world and giving you a p1ss poor download speed. The free vpn in Opera is supposed to connect to the optimum connection so should be the fastest connection but remember it is free so who knows. It may be a good idea to connect and use a speed checker to test it, google thinkbroadband and follow the speed test links. I've just checked mine, the vpn is connected to the Netherlands and the download test says I am getting around 48mbps and my connection is 55mbps so no great loss.
