I would not be surprised there one of the biggest if not the biggest names within the streaming media industry i dont know about anyone else but i had a skin full of the trouble getting a reliable stream via jsc or beinsports.For me its just not worth the effort and cost anymore especially as there other options out there,i would of course jump at the chance to use beinsports in the future but only if it becomes a damn site more reliable via dns or vpn.
You can see for yourself here at the agency employed to run the beIN sites: http://www.performgroup.co.uk/AllPartnersAndCaseStudies

I think you'll be surprised at the amount of high profile partners they run websites and content for. If this isn't proof enough that it's a high profile business and problem free in the Middle East then I don't know what is.

Fact is, like you suggest, people are either going to have to live with the quality of the streams coming through DNS services because I doubt they're going to ever improve beyond the quality we already receive, or they're going to have to move to the Middle East to receive it how it's meant to be.

Mate I see your point but honestly I doubt that it was smartdns's fault if channel #12 was bugged all day long with the same basketball game going over and over.
I'm not referring to whatever has been showing on channel 12... can't say I've looked at it once today. I suggest you contact Al Jazeera and let them know you're not happy with that one.

I'm commenting on the quality of the streams - pausing, pixellation etc and how these are not problems found within the designated territory... as I'm sure you were well aware.

Also I use smartdns to access a number of different services such as Hulu, Netflix etc and never had problems like I do with AJS.
I use them myself. Plenty of instances (both reported on here and not) where there have been issues accessing the likes of Netflix when using DNS... but fine without. DNS issues with a site like beIN Sports will always be more prevalent than with on demand sites like Hulu or Netflix because of the sheer amount of live streams they offer.

Channel 12 is still bugged lol, ridicolous really. And Chan 11 won't reach 2.4mb quality whatsoever (other channels do within a few seconds)

I don't think channel 12 is on air. It's not on the ios apps or on the bein guide. Don't think it's a bug.

It's a bug mate.

This morning they were supposed to broadcast some spanish game according to the tv guide. In fact the sat channel was properly broadcasting it.

Are the IOS apps working with any of the SmartDNS providers yet?

Half of the time i cant even get the website to work let alone mobile devices i dont see why it would not work via ios as i think you can change the dns settings on the device itself.Please excuse me if iam wrong but iam sure someone else will be able to advise.

When I spoke to mine they said that they had to work on the website and the various apps separately (something to do with the different scripts required). They have now confirmed that the website is working for them (I've not tested it since this confirmation; yesterday it was freezing and unwatchable as a result) but are still working on the iPad app.

That's where I am with mine. Al Jazeera stopped working for me in mid-Dec on the ios apps but continued working on the website. My DNS provider has confirmed this morning they have the website unlocked (I'm at work so can't check it), but they are still working on the ios apps.

Website smooth but very low quality. It is difficult to read the score.

It looks like BeIN is no improvement on AJS.

As far as I can tell yes - only 1 audio option (i.e the standard one for the channel)
