 |  Luckily so far (he says touching a large piece of wood) NBC have only blocked the more popular services that blabbermouths who don't realise they are onto a good thing boast about in very public forums, 
the more obscure service we both use seems to be working well still and it has a very good customer service who respond to and fix issues very quickly.

I do believe though wrestling inc is coming to uk plutotv and over time i do think the uk version will grow too with more content.

			Amazon have launched an EPG for live channels on Fire TV in the States.https://amazonfiretv.blog/live-tv-ha...v-2e357d13c0fc 
Is this a step forward or a step backwards for the streaming giant? A streaming service trying to replicate a linear TV service. Interesting.
