Yeah, it worked fine for a while yesterday. It'll work until AJS get around to blacklisting their servers and go down again. Rinse and repeat until one side gives up.

VPN-S's PPTP server is kinda slow in loading pages and the streams don't show up in the best quality, but they work seamlessly anyway. I'd say, for $2 a weekend it's not terrible.

Funny enough, AT&T allows you to stream every game live as well.

I didn't realize BEin had a streaming service, and thankfully Fios has deals with everyone now, I just logged in and am looking forward to seeing how well it looks, there are matches at 2. NBC has blow me away in how good a job they've done with the PL, Fox's poo poo poo poo poo poo coverage is a fading nightmare.

Yeah I get just the main BeIN channel streaming on Comcast, way better quality than the tv broadcast on my cable package. Sadly it doesn't give me the streams for all the other matches not being shown on the primary tv channel, which blows.

I was kind of hoping that with NBC getting all the premier league matches and making them available to stream that the quality of illegal streams might go up since there is actually a decent place get them with English commentary. So poo poo that I can't watch my team on TV/internet most of the time even though I'm in England.

Dunno, the new servers just appeared in the list for me. Maybe it has something to do with Chrome? Try restarting it and rechecking the drop-down list of servers in the popup window.

I can hardly watch one minute without the stream stopping. Egh.

Again getting the geoblocked error. I have the impression someone made some change either to Hola or to the Al Jazeera page, because whenever I try switching servers instead of opening the page of the specific stream I'm trying to access it sends me back to the main page, where the Global channel works, but if I try rechecking any of the other channels, it just goes geoblocked again.

I find whatever server I select it fails, until you change back and forth between fast and regular.

About the 3rd time it starts working.

Sounds like a bug in Hola, rather than Al Jazeera

Yeah I generally do that and it works but right now whenever I switch servers it keeps redirecting me to the main page and then I get the geoblocked error again. I just thought it's weird and I'm not sure who to blame here.

Not running any other extensions or scripts which could be causing that, like an auto-reloader?

Exciting news from the world of dodgy Arabic streams, AJS are now actively hunting down people using VPNs / whatnot. A guy on a Finnish forum got his account frozen with the old "too many logins" thing and when he tried to get it unlocked, this is what they replied:

AJS posted:

Dear customer,

Your IP address here refers that you are located outside the MENA region, therefore you are not able to login and watch. moreover, using any VPN system will affect our service and cause continues blocking to the account.

Your account has been violating our service by using different IP addresses within a short period of time and from different countries, which means either sharing your login details with others or using a proxy program/DNStool to relocate your IP address, and by doing so, you are bypassing our security systems. This is considered a major breach to our service as per our guidelines and regulations. Therefore, your refund request has been rejected.

For any further information about our terms of usage please refer to our Terms & Conditions which you accepted when you subscribed to the service -http://www.en.aljazeerasport.tv/Help/issue/Terms-and-Conditions.

So that's not great.
