Woop Woop! I am going to have to do the same for the Le tour. I was super impressed with the coverage of NMNM XCO. Dstv kicked.

Red Bird Posted May 16, 2023 Share Been suffering with this poor coverage and quality. After refreshing multiple times, even connecting the PC to the internet cable nothing worked.

I've never had one. (Cast to my old 15year old TV via Chromecast). But I'm having the same issues with crappy quality. I also need a vpn obviously to watch the tour later on. So need to figure out how to install one (and where to install it etc). Any advice from anyone would be great. Thanks. Gcn+ has such cool stuff on it. But it just sucks that it's so slow. Just like red bull when they started out 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted June 9, 2023 Share On 5/16/2023 at 7:51 AM, pedal menace said: Correct. GCN detects IP and determines GEO location and then opens for that country. So one user on GCN is all you need and one account for your VPN provider. So in my case I always connect to VPN first to obtain other country IP (usually UK or US) and then open GCN which loads content based on country it detects (same as Netflix and other streaming apps). One doesn't always have to connect to the VPN first. If you open up GCN+ in your browser and it reads your South African IP, it might block some races. If you open up your VPN and select the appropraite country and refresh the GCN+ website, then voila, it'll pick up the race that was geolocked! I use a MIBOX, as well. GCN app on there as well as my VPN. Same procedure. Android phone, too. Same procedure. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrob Posted June 9, 2023 Share I’m running from the newer to the latest Apple TV’s with a 75/75 fibre line and also struggling, having tested all 3 tv’s. I’ve done done the usual checks and my speeds are 100% and also restarted my network and routers to refresh as well. If I cannot solve it I’m cancelling my subscription. Any suggestions would be most welcome as no DSTV. The buffering and poor quality makes me want to rage quit… Edited June 10, 2023 by Murrob Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions would be most welcome as no DSTV. The buffering and poor quality makes me want to rage quit… The feed seems to settle down after 30-odd minutes. I run much the same: ATV on 100 meg line, and initially the feed is unwatchable. It’s %#*£ annoying (thanks a lot UCI). It’d be annoying for a free service, it’s absurd for a paid service. My suggestion: everyone with issues contact GCN and bitch about it. Maybe, just maybe they’ll actually do something about it. Not holding my breath though.

milky4130 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Anyone know how to run a VPN on Apple TV? I can do it on the iPhone and see the races there. I guess I could cast it to the tv. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't. Best is probably VPN on computer then send to ATV. GCN+ feed a complete waste of time so far. Not happy. milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as you get on supersport, if you have Dstv. I have had no issues with the feed at all this weekend so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until DSTVs chokehold on broadcast rights in South Africa is broken, which unfortunately is protected by our very uncompetitive laws in this space, and those laws are the only things keeping multi choice afloat, you will always require a VPN to get access to decent content in South Africa, especially if you want it an affordable price.

Then GCN needs to make it very clear that the expect me to lie about my geographical location before so readily taking my money. 😉 Besides, DSTVs rights to the broadcast has no bearing on the quality of the feed being catered for by GCN+. If a VPN resolves the problem then it's between GCN+ and their infrastructure support this region. If tomorrow is as unwatchable as today then I'll likely cancel. I refuse to pay for what was, at best, a radio broadcast today. Edited June 10, 2023 by tinmug ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
