Thats about it.....(Don' t think I'll risk it thanks) thats what their hoping for.
Do I have to let Licensing officials into my home?
Enquiry officers do not have any legal powers to come into your home unless they have a search warrant from a magistrate, or sheriff if you are in Scotland. They have an implied right under common law to come to your front door and let you know they are there.
If you refuse them entry they will have to leave, but TV Licensing may then use other methods such as a warrant from court, or detection equipment, which can find if there is TV receiving equipment at a home.

For anyone with Triotech Clearstream boxes
STATUS UPDATE: We are currently re-arranging the Live channel line up which should be complete by tomorrow morning. This will be available for MXIII and Zoomtak units.

Re: Filmon no longer free!!
So anyone with an older box will have to pay for a new Triotech Clearstream box to watch live UK TV?
Re: Filmon no longer free!!
I don't know if it is relevant, but our mag box is not doing catch up on Sky channels. I phoned the provider this morning and he says it is a problem with sky. We first noticed on Saturday evening when we tried to watch "Lucky man" on sky 1, first broadcast Friday evening. Still not on. Anyone else got this problem, or is it our box?
Re: Filmon no longer free!!
I have just checked that program and get a 'File Missing' message.
But we do get that message from time to time on other channels.

Re: Filmon no longer free!!
Darrow I think you phoned Simon when he was in my house also in Tremithousa, he did not know what the problem was but I do not think it is Sky, as my other Mag (different provider) is running normally in another room, my guess is it is his service provider, it is not your Mag unit that is the problem.darrow wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2017 10:38 pm I don't know if it is relevant, but our mag box is not doing catch up on Sky channels.

Re: Filmon no longer free!!
Thanks Trev! At least I now know it is not my box or settings. They are taking some time to fix it though!

Darrow..
Another point not all of your programs are supplied by Sky, it is a service provider problem nothing to do with Filmon, (sorry folks) I'm sure it will be sorted very soon.

Re: Filmon no longer free!!
I checked on my Mag box this morning and was able to view OK. I do get 'file missing' error message sometimes on catch-up but I find if you try two or three times eventually it plays. Maybe worth another try X 

Re: Filmon no longer free!!
We are getting no catchup at all or Atlantic, as posted a server problem but not for all of Simons clients, I'm sure they will sort it out soon.
Jim.
Re: Filmon no longer free!!
often catch up problems are due to the buffer size being too large. Go to settings, advanced settings, video. I normally set this to zero, but 1 or 2 seems ok, higher can cause "file missing" on both catchup and live tv.

Re: Filmon no longer free!!
We have tried that Digby of course, it is a general problem many of us are experiencing, unfortunately, although and apart from Atlantic all TV is running as normal, just no catch-up.
Running as normal now!

Re: Filmon no longer free!!
Yup, we had to buy the zoomtak K5C as we could no longer access Genesis for films and series on the old box. Now we can get exodus and live TV for €79.
Seems to be working fine now and we dont have the huge Filmon logo in the top right hand corner anymore

It.s a pity that UK TV doesn't have BBC1 Scotland even though they have BBC Alba.
