Signed up for s sports no problem thanks for heads up.

So is the only way to do this is a) register an account using a VPN b) use the app which you must install as an apk c) Using a VPN, log into the app, click on any of the padlocks which will then give you the option of a package monthly vs annual. google pay subscriptions will then take care of it, via US dollars.
One user did say they got the regular card payment page to work but most of us got errors.

That's what worked for me.

Watching NFL on it now. Coverage is great.
Will be good Tuesday and Wednesday when there's 10 games on between the 2 days.

Will be signing up for year when month expires. Works out at about 21 quid I think.

It wouldn't accept any card for me except my google pay itself. Hence I couldn't use the promo code.
Its 17.00 Turkish LIRA a month which is 2 euro. A yearly plan is about 17.50 euro in total.

It's good on desktop too, you can watch in split screen so can take in several events at the same time.

Is it working now for ya?

TheDriver

Yes, got it working from the app.1.99 euro through revolut.
The yearly fee is great value.
Quality is HD, no buffering. The only thing is you'll need to get the hang of the menu in Turkish but that's only a few words.

Crazy is that sky wanted 29.99 for McGregor fight. That's nearly twice annual ssportplus fee

Watched a re-run for 6 euro for 3 years, still impressed by the feed, no buffering think it was a South African feed

Do you need up use the VPN when you are watching, or just for signing up?

Its already been said you need a vpn to watch.
Alternatively you could use a service like smart dns with a turkish ip and not have vpn on all the time.

How many devices can use this at once. Want to share with my father in law so would be easier if I could just download the app for him

Anyone have issues with ITVHUB and endless advert loops? STV seems to be better for the ads but Tanya's version is more an android version that requires mouse toggle

you using keepsolid? i've it installed from amz but the ads were taking ages recently, program plays fine though. it's like a more annoying rte player :pac:
watched wwtbam last night on it & it seemed a bit quicker but not100%

I have changed to using stv player instead, clunkier interface and requires mouse toggle but far less ads.
Yes to keepsolid

It works fine on firestick.

I've been able to install VPN and Sports app on my phone and signed up. It's brilliant and thanks to Lucas Hood for the details. Hopefully this stays working going forward.

Hi Lucas, I signed up for the Sports + subscription for the year. I got the Google pay receipt for $21.62, but the site is still locked. Did you get access straight away or did you have to wait for an email. Great spot, thanks.

It'll either say a) you're in or b) not available in your area (which means the VPN isn't on)

Thanks Lucas and Driver for the help. I ended up deleting the app and reinstalled it. When I logged back in everything was fine. Checked the account and it is paid up for the year. Is it possible to change the commentary to English on the highlights for the football. Great bargain alert and thanks for all the advice.
