If it does work on game week 1, you can be fairly certain it won't by game week 2. Sly are all over this sort of thing. If anything this may be a way to lure would be users away from P+ Mexico
 
I think their will be a big clamp down ahead.
Both on VPN for Streaming and IPTV. All they need to do is get internet providers on board.

So many people using IPTV at work that have zero knowledge of technology. Anytime these things reach critical mass , they get disrupted.

They took Isp's to court to force them to block streaming, because laws had been passed years earlier and we're completely ignored by Isp's.
After the court victory, the Isp's blocked streaming, for about a week, and then gave up. It's their main selling point, fast streaming, lighting fast speeds etc, people don't need that to send emails to Aunt Fannie.
If FACT/Sky etc were serious about getting some income from these illegal streams they should look into forcing Isp's to charge per GB, then milking the high volume users either via a tax on Isp's or by mutual agreement
 
I just picked up a Fire stick for Prime day. Has anyone else succeeded in getting both versions of the Paramount+ app (US & Int) on there at the same time?

I get an error when trying to install the second one from the official App Store. I guess I’m going to have to try to sideload one of them. Haven’t had that problem on my other devices where I can have both apps at the same time.

Initial observation is that it plays well, zips through the menus at speed, and supports UHD on the iPlayer - however there are substantially less official apps available compared to my Apple TV and CCwGTV.

Must admit that the Apple TV is still the one getting most use given it has the ability to run ControlD as DoH meaning I don’t have to faff around with the VPN all the time.

Going to set up my GL Inet router tomorrow so that all three of them can run ControlD as DoH - that will level the playing field a little…

Paramount+ Australia seem to be showing a lot of the pre-season matches. Watching United - Liverpool there now. Just look for “Winter Festival of Football”

IPTV reached critical mass a long time ago. It's so widespread now, infinitely more than card sharing ever was.

There will probably be some disruption around the first couple of EPL matchdays of the new season, and the Joshua v Usyk fight later in August but that's par for the course these days.

That's true , but only this year have I seen relatives and friends ditch sly for IPTV.
Probably for another thread anyways.

Are there any streaming restrictions on Sky's own internet service?

Not if you use a VPN, although I've never used it, plenty of Sky broadband customers watch IPTV.
They're stuck between a rock and a hard place, they can't start charging extra per gig because they woul lose most of their customers.
Until all Isp's charge by the gig nothing will change.
They know that this is what needs to happen but they think if they disrupt streams enough, people will choose to pay £1200 per year instead of fifty quid on iptv
 
ISPs will never succeed in charging by the GB either, the days of PAYG internet and fair use polices are thankfully long behind us. It just wouldn't benefit anyone at all - streaming companies (including Sky themselves with Sky Glass), those of us hybrid working / WFH full time dealing with large files, gamers downloading new titles.
