So far I’m not yet able to see how they will break down the games. I expect to get that information early next week. Once I see it I’ll post it.

Thanks! I've tested the app on my Apple TV and I can watch the live channels they have and the content to stream, so hopefully it will be good.

The smart DNS proxy (not a VPN, but uses name resolution to look like the request for the site is coming from the US rather than the UK) I use here is excellent as it also lets me use all the stuff in my daughter's Hulu sub like Bravo, ABC, HBO etc and of course NBC sports, but Peacock is extra.

You still using IPTV?

Yep that as well.

I use my daughter's Hulu sub for most things and my backup is IPTV. If you can get a US sub (obv I use hers) a £4 a month smart DNS sub is perfect as it doesn't go down.

EDIT: I bought the Peacock sub on my own now as I get paid in $$$ and have a US bank account now :)

Yep good, but long hours as I tend to work till 9 or 10pm to get in sync with them, and although nobody expects me to start until 1 or 2pm, I end up starting at about 10 or 11 most days.

To get back on topic, the best part of working for a US company is that none of them know about ‘Soccer’, so no Liverpool love in during meetings :)

Didn't realised my IPTV had run out (I want to watch England but it’s on sky) so just renewed for 12 months (costs £70) all re subscribed in about 5 minutes,

I do think it’s farcical that more games won’t be shown on tv. What do the premier league have to lose? They’re not losing money by allowing free to air games because the money can’t be generated by other means anyway given that there’s no alternative....

I was reading something the other day about the Premier League worried that once they let the genie out of the bottle, it will be hard to put it back in.
However, I think they are making it worse as more people who never thought of illegal streaming will do so now.

Don't think it's down to the PL is it? I thought the broadcasters were worried about 'diluting the product' by showing every game.

Still think I might happen though if only for September. I'm not supportive of it long term unless the ko times are no longer 3pm Saturday.

Might be worth using saintsplayer again for the beginning of the season.

They’ve been a bit sneaky this season, if you want to use both tablet and TV you have to sign up for “Multi-room” usage, which costs £120. Still worth it when you think what it gives you though.
