Title: Sky Championship Highlights online
Post by: Ad@m on April 22, 2018, 08:29:36 AM
Anyone else struggling with these in the UK?

They worked fine earlier in the season but now I keep getting error messages saying they're not available in my location.

Any ideas?

Do you have a proxy browser plug-in active such as Browsec?  If so deactivate it and Robert is your mother's brother :)

Nope. I'm using common or garden Chrome through BT WiFi and Three 4g.

Same result either way.

Check where your IP address is registered. I get the same issue at work, where our IP location seems to move between Norway and the US, despite being in London. Stick TouchVPN on Google Chrome, set your location to UK, and it'll work again.

Good shout. Was to state the same. If it helps the OP can follow the Aston villa official channel and the extended highlights come up around 24hrs max later.
Usually 8-10 mins. It's longer than the 1min30 to 3/4 mins from sky.

Similarly wm audio provide longer manager interviews than the sky championship or 5 snippets TV or online.

The Arsenal match is like a testimonial. I note with interest that stoke are leading.

The only trouble with YouTube is the length of time you have to wait. The Sky website has highlights a hour or so after the game has finished.

It's not an IP issue because I can buy lottery tickets and that website stops you if you're outside the UK.
