Wow. It'll be their 10 year anniversary next year. I wonder if any other channels have been around as long?

I cannot understand why Matt left. He was my fav.

My VPN is installed on my router, so all devices connected are behind the VPN. The GCN+ app works fine on the Mi Box S, except for live Tour de France coverage. I queried it with them last year and they said they don’t support the Mi Box S.

Below was yesterday’s stage of the UAE Tour.

The App doesnt support it is ***.... Just got a free VPN for the box and connected to Germany, Tour is fully loaded now.

Woop Woop!

How much does this cost? Cant seem to find a subscription fee without creating an account.

 

Renewed the other day at R720 for the year. Worth every cent!

Prefer not to run VPN on router - as you say then EVERYTHING traverses the VPN (unless router supports Split Tunnelling - and not a lot do). Although it works fine for GCN+ - reality is that (on my 200Mbps fibre line) it reduces the overall speed by at least 40% - in most cases much more. As such I prefer to run NordVPN on a per device basis - only disadvantage is that NordVPN is not supported on all devices (i.e. Apple TV).

You've literally just answered what I was about to ask. 

Also just want to add +1 for loving GCN+

Best subscription service I'm currently paying for hands down.

Try when the Tour is live, like I experienced last year. Highlights work fine, as do other races just not the Tour. There's the ticket below.

If they've updated it since, then bonus. If not, I'm sharing what happened last year July.

I have two routers, one is the ISP's provided one, which doesn't allow any configuration. This is the reason why I have a second one.

Also, I can't change settings on my work laptop, but can select wifi networks. Another reason why I went with the router setup. It's what works for my setup.

$84 for a 2 year subscription = R630/year, or R52.50/month (2 coffees).

GCN+ is R719.99 for the year (when I renewed). Not sure if it's exchange rate based.

Makes 100% sense. Two routers will solve that issue.

ok, trying to use the app, it's either showing me 10min short package or full race.

is there a 1hour or 2 hour high light package of TdF.

also sad to see like tonight there is nothing yet of today stage, don't want to wait for tomorrow.

Right this part confused me, I thought you were expecting a live Stage today but today is a rest/transition day.
