Downloaded the Unotelly app, thinking it would assist. It only left me more confused. *sigh*
OK so I managed to test unotelly last night and it works great in combination with my unblock box running TVMC. Now some of the plugins that previously did not work on TVMC due to geo restrictions are working great. In particular, Australian TV such as Plus7, TenPlay, NineJump.
Also just a heads up for Australians, since last month the 7 network now stream all their live channels (7, 7Two, 7Mate) online at 7 Live. You can even choose your state such as NSW, Vic, QLD, WA and it plays the local 7 station from your city. But it wont work in HK without something like unotelly. I tested last night and works great, but quality only SD and not the best. They also have an android app and samsung TV app, so I now have channel 7 on my unblock box and can watch TV as if I am back in Perth.
Also for Australians, Foxtel have Foxtel Go which is free for everyone that has a Foxtel subscription in Australia and you can have 3 devices at a time running and watching exactly the same channels you watch on foxtel at home. Unotelly also claims to support this, I will test it as well when I get a chance. My parents in Aus have foxtel and they are using it on two mobile devices already in Australia so I should be able to nick the last one and then watch whatever channels they subscribe to back in Aus. Foxtel Go also has an android app so agan I can chuck this on my unblock box and watch on TV with remote, not sitting on a laptop.
And this is how the internet of things will get us.
The standard for $3 a month is fine I think. The gold one adds a VPN service but that's not needed for the 300+ channels they advertise on their site. The VPN is only for advanced functions and encryption.
