Would there be any reason as to why my wifi provider (Sky) wouldn’t let me stream any American tv but my mobile phone provider (o2) would?

While I’m on WiFi at home it says “Could not play video. There was a problem trying to load the video”. Unless I use a VPN.

However, if I turn off my WiFi and use my mobile phone data it DOES work.

I’m assuming there’s a simple explanation to this but I wouldn’t know what it was.

Actually they are only allowed by court order to block IPTV in the UK while Premier League games are on. You always need a VPN for any service while games are on. It's just random luck it worked with O2, could be blocked next week. Get a VPN and all is well.

ISPs in the UK are cracking down on watching IPTV over their networks and it would make sense that Sky, being a broadcaster themselves, would be particularly strict.
