I severely doubt that's true , the amount using VPN's was probably tiny.

I assume that also covers the DNS services that 'unlocked' content from other regions, which were easier for people to use and likely more popular than a full VPN.

Yes including those , the reason the studios acted was because it was starting to get put all over the internet with the methods and who to use.

Yes they're blocked too, i personally kept Netflix there is still plenty of content on there and with Netflix making more and more original content £8p/m is an absolute bargain, it was nice why the vpns lasted but these things happen.

Spot on once word got around across the web the studios had no choice really but to act.

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.

No far less content on the UK version of plutotv no live sport, no movies either.
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.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
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.
