    Just because the premier league is round the corner, thought i'd let you helpful people know that I have just signed up to BeIn sport again this year after it was so good last year

    It was even easier than last time as I can use paypal and took minutes, rather than faffing around with VPN's. I did need to use smartDNS like last time, but it all worked fine, and now I can watch the games in great quality. I used this guide if anyone needs a hand

    I also have an .apk if people want to watch it on their android, I havent tested it properly yet, but looks decent quality and easy to use! just DM me if you want me to send it to you??

    Does that work for you every time? I had a few issues and it slowed the streams down too much, but that was a year ago or so

    the free version slows you down after 1 gig . premium dont do that . its only $45
    a year which is 30 odd euro .and can be used with netflix .

    they give the added option of hola vpn then also you can download for mobile not tried that as of yet

    uae setting is what im using on hola


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭mrmanunited


    wow, i think i'll go check out hola then! win! thanks

    @iba: Egypt just worked for me, but im sure they would all be the same, its done as u$d, but i paid through paypal to make it easier

    I did check the USA and NZ football packages before i signed up and this was the best package by about $20 plus it had F1 and champs league. The US one has more TV shows tho, like soccer am, if you like them? Although this one has Richard Keys and Andy Gray before and after a game!

    I see that Bein Sport's monthly price is close to the season price, might be worth signing up for monthly subscription in case of problems! Also they havent released details of 3pm games on a Saturday!

    A lot of people are singing the praises of Star Sports which costs roughly €10 for the season! I havent used the service but they have upgraded to hd quality over the summer! Might do as a backup to Bein Sport?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,042 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    no word of when starsports will launch plans either.

    Just watched the everton porto friendly on bein sports so thats a major bonus already for the bein sports option

    I just wonder if there will be the same DNS issues like last year when the season kicks off.

    One thing I liked with Bein was the watching two/three/four games at the same time.

    hola fell over on its @rse last season, will have to just wait and see I suppose!

    There is meant to be an African subscription service about to be launched, with Premier League (NZ), Star Sports (India) and Bein Sports (UAE) there is such a choice this year!

    I used Bein Sports last year with very little problems thanks to a certain company with Smart DNS! It is a tough call this year whether to go with Bein Sports again or just use my android tv. I might use the android for the first couple of weeks to see how I get on! If I do go with Bein Sport it will be a monthly subscription.

    Are you going to subscribe to a service?

    Yeah my colleague at work, luckily he didnt miss out much, plus last year they got wise to smartDNS half way through, if they do that again it could be for a longer time. defo stick to monthlies!

    They changed the sub due to the World Cup, you could still access some channels just not all of them unless you paid extra.

    SmartDNS worked fine for me all last year. One or two games kept jumping forward and backwards 5/10 minutes for some reason but other than that it was grand.
