    Has anyone tried using PopcornTime with Horizon?

    Any time I boot it up whether it be my Mac, Ubuntu Laptop, or Android Phone, my connection drops.

    Now, I'm still connected to Wifi on all, but get a DNS error when trying to connect to the internet. It's weird.

    Now technically I can imagine it's very easy to temporarily ban on a ip address when a certain protocal or url is accessed such as is required for Popcorn Time but it's seems unlikely UPC would be sharp enough to do it.

    Anyone else get this?

    Upc are not actively blocking popcorn time. Loads of Upc customers I know use it.

    Whether or not UPC allow this, we don't allow discussion of it
