sky blocking iptv's

by eddie1988

is sky blocking iptv's real or bs in your view.i am with a iptv of here and have been for a good few months and the last game of last season when busy went off and big boxing event was terrible and this weekend was very poor.but imo sky is not blocking them as i was able to watch some of the match on and off surly if sky/isp was blocking that would not of been possible at all? and if you was sky and a isp why would you block a game of football of a pirate stream/service but then unblock them? imo the iptv providers have over sold the service and by using a vpn you are in fact easing the load on the main server and thus the service can cope.i may be wrong but i took a trial of another service that seemed to have the same source with a g logo and they did not go off now if ips/sky was blocking how could this happen.and if sky and a isp knew where a ip was coming from surley they could just keep blocking them or is it a hard thing for them to do.and one day it was a ddos attack next it is sky or an isp blocking surly its all bs .would love to here everyone's view on this.

Theres 2 things going on here:

Firstly Sky have a high court order to force ISPs to block IPTV servers, as they do with torrent sites.

Secondly I'm convinced they're taking out IPTV providers servers with DDOS when popular events are on, EPL games and big PPV are what they're going for because this is where most of their profit comes from.

Theyre shitting themselves because they've seen a drop in subscriptions due to IPTV being a lot cheaper than their Sky subs, this is behind their recent price structuring changes as well...people are getting fucked off with their ridiculous monthly bills.

The problem is Sky obviously didn't sit up and notice when the music industry went through the same thing years ago, the music industry changed its model and adapted.

Sky have simply adjusted their model a little bit and they're keeping their fingers crossed it will work....it won't though, the pirates are always one step ahead, the music industry proved this.

A lot of youngsters won't remember BlockBuster video, they refused to change and now they're gone....i can see the same thing happening with Sky.

Sky has professional help and they even can hire individuals to stop ilegal iptv providers i think is time big players on iptv scene to go underground and live only resellers on the surface might hurt advertising and getting more customers but they they have to get the chance now and act if they want to stay in the bussiness.. All portals out there are public All the forums and facebook are easy target for SKY Also i fear in Europe they will follow the same antipiracy route Is time to keep the customer base and hide out there now or everything will go down

I'm using Epic and I had complete blackout when 3pm games kicked off on Saturday. Luckily I had a VPN service available and I connected to that and epic was working flawlessly. I tested this with other providers and had similar experiences. I'm guessing Sky are blocking the servers during game times/PPV events so it can get by without many people noticing.
