Cyberflix stopped working- 'no data'.

Anyone received this & any idea how to solve it? I'll probably re-install but just checking first...

Have a look at this site, Mcnmedia.tv think they have an app mcn live also

Thanks - in the end I used bookmarker app to make a 'shortcut' to churchservices.tv 'what on now' section. Give them 2 more weeks and they'll be asking me how to torrent down the entire 'Glenroe' back-archive.

Tried to side-load it - and it just opens and crashes - so no-go afaik.

EDIT: you could try https://www.techymice.com/firestick/install-sky-go-on-firestick-2020/ but think only UK works - maybe if you set your vpn to Uk? lets us know if it works.

Just tried that and works a treat .

I set it up using NordVPN and used a cracked UK SkyGo account .
Working really well .
I'll try to post a few pics later .

Looking forward to getting my Firestick from Curry's next week. Lots of great advice and tips on here on set up.

Got a good deal on a VPN at Surfshark, 42 euro for 2 years. Bit more expensive than Getflix but excellent reviews on thatoneprivacyguy site. Just tried it on iPlayer last night and works like a dream. Can't believe I didn't do it sooner!

If you had used topcashback you could have got 70% back of that €42.

I have just opened Topcashback account. The price is still €42 on chevk out via topcashback. Am I doing something wrong?

You get the cashback after. It doesn't come off the amount you pay now.

It's not a instant cashback. It takes couple of months for the cashback to arrive in your topcashback account. I got the surfshark cashback early this year.

Create a topcashback account before you do anything. Make sure to go to surfshark from topcasback link and also make sure you are not blocking any cookies (thats how they track your purchase)

https://www.topcashback.co.uk/surfshark/

After the purchase, it should show up in your topcashback account, may not be instant.

Just in case if it didnt register in your topcashback, you can cancel the subscription, get the refund and try again.

It just works if you dont have browser extensions like, adblock, noscript etc not installed.

You can still cancel the subscription, get the refund then buy again with a different email id through cashback.

masterboy123

Thank you so much for the explanation.
I have opened a Topcashback account now only. Never used it before.
I see few Irish sites also Topcashback. Does it really work? And are there any hidden charges using Topcashback?

It works, no hidden charges. Its just that it takes time, at least couple of months, well that was in my case anyway.

Once the money is available to be transferred you can get vouchers of sites like amazon etc or you can get money through your paypal account. I transferred to my paypal account and it was for surfshark as well.

When I go to pay by PayPal I am charged vat . When I go to pay by card it defaults to 0% vat. Is it okay to pay by card at that rate. Will it still work in Ireland or be blocked

coldfire1x

Its ok to pay by card, it will work fine from anywhere in the world.

Just got surfshark. BBC iPlayer working perfectly on phone but not on firestick . Netflix us not working on either. when I open Netflix when connected to us Boston I still get Netflix Ireland. Have done a force shutdown on Netflix app but still the same. Any ideas.

tritriagain

Just got connected to us Netflix .but nothing will play. Just checked speed on Netflix and it's down to 2.5 from 50

KeepSolid works perfectly for me. NetFlix/BBC/Cackle etc

GIFTFORDAD15 gets you 15% off - so lifetime only $33.15 (~30euro)

It works fine for me on the phone. Connected to US Netflix and playing away.

Haven't got my firestick yet so can't comment... Hoping it does work though!

Hmm the download url doesnt seem to be working now. You still have the apk?

tritriagain

I was onto surfshark and they said to disable content control on modem cos they could be blocking VPN. Has anyone had this issue

Lucky you - I tried Skygo 14.1.1 and when it starts I just get a bluescreen with a connection error.
