Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about setup, compatibility, and credentials.
Why are 3pm Premier League games not on TV in the UK?+
Under the Article 48 blackout rule instituted by the English FA and UEFA, no live football can be broadcast on UK television between 2:45 PM and 5:15 PM on Saturdays to protect stadium attendance at lower league games.
Does Virgin Media or BT block IPTV during Premier League games?+
UK ISPs implement court-mandated dynamic IP blocking during live matches. Our service utilizes dynamic Anti-Freeze relays and encrypted TLS streaming endpoints to bypass these blocks with zero buffering.
Is commentary in English for 3pm matches?+
Yes! All 3pm kickoff streams are sourced with pristine native English commentary from official international broadcasters (Peacock, Optus Sport, SuperSport, and Astro).
