Virgin are twats for closing down access to torrent sites, so have been using a free VPN for a couple of years.
I use NordVPN for a fee and it proper kills my speeds so be interested to see who others use that you can install on a firestick
Another way around a vpn is to use mobile data. I have unlimited data with EE and if I'm away I use that and watch on my phone, never had an issue doing it that way. Could then cast to a TV in needed.
According to the BBC the English Football League is willing to consider scrapping the Saturday 3pm blackout as part of their new TV rights deal from 2024. The present £595m five-year deal with Sky Sports caused controversy when it was negotiated in 2018, with some Championship clubs believing that it undervalued their competition. However, there is a belief at the EFL that a bigger deal could be secured, amid hopes that streaming services such as Amazon, Netflix and Apple might show an interest. Under the current agreement, Sky show at least 138 league matches a season as well as every play-off game and the Carabao Cup final. They also show 14 ties from the earlier rounds of the Carabao Cup and the semi-finals and final of the EFL Trophy. "Rights for all 1,891 matches across the league, EFL Cup, EFL Trophy and all end of season play-off matches are available for prospective bidders," said the EFL in a statement. The rights to those games could not be sold without screening matches between 14:45 and 17:15 on a Saturday, which is currently prohibited. Uefa impose the blackout when it was requested by the Football Association. It was lifted as part of 'Project Restart' during the Covid pandemic to allow supporters to watch games when they were played behind closed doors, but then re-imposed again once fans were allowed back into stadiums. EFL chief commercial officer, Ben Wright, said: "Alongside the EFL's rich tradition and distinguished history there is a desire to evolve, grow and innovate to expand our audience further, and we're looking for a partner or partners who share that vision."

'sake I know football has a bad reputation but other sports are shown on Sat afternoons, other sports let you have a pint whilst watching the game, other sports let fans mingle. Football fans are treated like animals - Obviously, some measures such as segregation are necessary, but it's time the game was modernised and the fans treated like human beings
My bad, misread Gordon's shrunken post. Looks like it will struggle to get off the ground but the American owned Premier Clubs seem interested to make more money through streaming... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...SG7LCThE4bqNFlXK9HG9S3sPwE_dZ3DbKn5CfaL343yUo
