It took me months of back and forth for them to finally admit it. As it is now if you want the Star channel you will have to disconnect their DNS.

I no longer have buffering issues from iplayer, I still have UK Now TV without issue and Disney can be turned on & off easily. Two years subscription costs less than 50c per month when paid upfront.

App on my (old) tablet and smart TV: Complains about EU roaming. DNS settings are all at the router level.
