[Sawyer]

[Smithy]

:laugh2:

It may be because it hasn't actually started airing though

[King Gizzard]

[\PJ/]

Could be an error the site won't even load up for me now.

[bettiepage]

maybe it's because live streaming hasn't started yet?

[chris1232]

I havn't a fekin clue. ****e.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

I think it screwed up for a few people. It showed up as geoblocked for a few people here when it shouldn't have. Very weird.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Look at his location fgs.

[King Gizzard]

Hope they dont give my spot to anyone else, they didn't even send anyone a confirmation email so I hope they have it down on record that I got in on time and they ll sort it out soon. If not I ll have to email 'em

[Jessica.]

Ireland couldn't even sign up, if he lived in Ireland he wouldn't have been able to make an account.

It might be a problem with your ISP

[Jordan.]

Yeah wait until tomorrow night. Hopefully it will be fine once they have ironed out any teething problems.

Clean up your internet cache. That should sort it.

Adblock has no problem on it. I have the page disabled under adblock.

[King Gizzard]

Meh I went to check it again and I'm geoblocked again.

[Mrluvaluva]

Meh I went to check it again and I'm geoblocked again.

[Jase]

Are those people who were after the 1000?

[lozzalondon]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO whats going on its happened to me too!

[King Gizzard]

Meh, theres I'm on firefox which they suggested. My Flash is up to date, and I'm now alternating between a loading screen and being geoblocked. Going to email them tommorow if It doesnt sort itself out overnight

[southblue]

Mine's been Ok (touch wood) all night. Are those who are experiencing problems ones who got the free pass?
I'd heard on another forum that Channel 4 gave out more than 1000 free passes (due to people registering at exactly the same time / late replying to email confirmations etc) and they are currently putting this situation right.

Then again, it could also be down to browser problems or ISPs throttling/blocking streaming traffic at peak times.

[billy123]

i wouldnt worry about it too much there are a lot of people reporting the same problem basically they ban whole ranges of ip addresses that originate from outside the uk the problem being that some uk isps route their internet traffic via overseas providers and these get caught up in the block.
there will be technicians working now to weed out these ip adresses wrongly it will be something that was expected to happen and probably the reason the stream has being set up 30 hours before its due to go live.


incidentally to the people wrongly geo blocked who is your internet provider??

[King Gizzard]

VirginMedia

But atm, It doesnt say i'm geoblocked and is working atm

[billy123]

cool they will figure it out before launch it shows they are working on it if you were blocked but arent now.

im wondering if they are/were all virgin subscribers that were blocked.

Virgin Media Inc. is an American-domiciled British provider of television, telephone and broadband internet services to domestic and business customers in the UK, delivered primarily through its fibre-optic cable network, headquartered on paper in New York City[1] with operations based in Hook, North Hampshire, UK. The company was formerly known as ntl:Telewest following the merger of NTL Incorporated with Telewest Global, Inc. A further merger with Virgin Mobile's UK arm in 2006 created the first "quadruple-play" media company in the United Kingdom, bringing together television, Internet, mobile phone and fixed-line telephone services.



If what your saying is correct, could this be why it wasnt working? they might of thought I was in the US?

You can check your IP location at http://www.speedtest.net by looking at where it says your IP is on the map. :spin:

I am in Ireland and Channel 4 wouldn't even let me view the sign up form, never mind get a free pass.
