Well, after being smug about my flawless Bein connection, my VPN service has let me know and the server I have been using is offline! First issue since August last year. Fired up another server and I'm right back in!! Might have to do some explaining to bein support though!

Not going to happen the member likes to keep there options close to his or her chest but according to them there are loads of vpn`s that work but didn`t give specifics.I personally tried hidemyass but it was far to slow for a reliable stream. Quote:

I haven't mentioned the service I use to access bein because I don't want to. That's it. I found it on google so others can quite easily. |

In my experience it only works when there is no big events on like premier league football as soon as there is it goes to pot and its very unstable to say the least. Quote:
It works fine for some though.

There is only one site that i know of that is still open to new members they show the channels he is talking about beginning with o,unless its improved dramatically its not the most reliable site you could use. Iam not going to advertise it to the unknowing members as i don`t you want people to waste there money.

Until they make online access available only to those with a STB and paired viewing card, I really can't see how they'll convince the Premier League to reinstate the extra games in the contract. |

For the first time (for me) this season the Man Utd game is flawless. Absolutely brilliant using Smart DNS.
Hope this is the sign of things to come! |

Streams have been perfect today but not the most attractive games on. I don't think the issues are DNS provider related. Once you have passed the geoblock I don't think they are relevant any longer. The AJS android app was littered with terrible reviews written in Arabic which I assume means they are somewhere in MENA. |

I'm inclined to believe this as it matches what I am seeing. I'd imagine the big games put a huge strain on the streams.

The AJS android app was littered with terrible reviews written in Arabic which I assume means they are somewhere in MENA. With exclusive coverage spanning 23 MENA countries and an estimated customer base now spanning into the millions, Al Jazeera is intent on proving itself as the leading MENA sports broadcaster, and to a wider extent, its owners - the Qatari government - use it as their own tool to exercise their strengths through sports and media - with the Premier League being their jewel in the crown. I must sound like a walking talking advert for Al Jazeera but I can't believe that people still insist any problems stem from their end. |

That would still make them far smaller than the Sky Sports subscriber base who struggle to provide a decent stream on Sky Go for big matches. Factor in most Sky Sports users would watch via satellite and you realise that BeIN would need a far superior infrastructure to deliver their service.
It is early days so I expect the service to improve as they get a better handle on the streaming requirements. |

It is early days so I expect the service to improve as they get a better handle on the streaming requirements. Most beIN Sport users also watch via satellite - this notion that they've got millions upon millions of subscribers is wrong. They cover a wide geographical area but subscriber wise, they've got minimal strain on their servers at weekends, even if the biggest match of the PL season was being played at the time. The majority of beIN/AJS subscribers watch via Nilesat. Their service is absolutely fine - award winning in fact. |

Surely minimal strain is relative. It depends on what their infrastructure was built to handle.
Maybe they hadn't accounted for a large number of UK subscribers who would all be using their internet service. Either way, I can't see why a "Smart DNS" type service would be any worse than a normal service once the stream has initiated. It's not as if repeated location requests are sent during streaming. You either pass the geotest or you don't. |

You either pass the geotest or you don't. Last year when they took the rights off ADMC, it was estimated that their subscriber base was at 2.5m. Even with the addition of the PL, I can't see that being anywhere near 3m now so the additional numbers they have added will hardly shatter the system from beforehand. The PL are very particular with who, how, when, where etc. An entire region the size of AJ with huge outlay on Arabic and English coverage - fairly high end punditry etc to then have it unwatchable from within the MENA region? Doesn't sit with me. |
