Does anyone use Filmon for their UK tv? We have lost our connection this morning so just wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble. Thanks for any replies.

I thought that people stopped using filmon after they started asking for a subscription. Most people now use android boxes some are free to watch and others are subscription.
If you pay subscription to filmon contact them.

I just tried their website and it wouldn't load, maybe they have issues

I stopped using Filmon ages ago once digital set top boxes were in common use. I often had problems connecting to it.
I bought a set top box from Triotech, which comes with about 50 channels pre
loaded. This includes all the free to air British TV channels. You can of course subscribe to Sky and others if you wish.
I have no problems now and the supplier does all upgrades.You buy the set top box, and there are no monthly payments.

I also would recommend Triotech Clearstream boxes, once you have bought a box you can stream films and TV series as well as the usual freeview UK channels, their maintenance subscription is €24 per year

Uncle D, According to Triotech's staff in Paphos, they are only charging maintenance on their older boxes.
I have two of their boxes, last year they informed me that they were no longer maintaining my older box, so would be charging an annual maintenance fee on it.As it was sometimes giving problems, I changed it for a new one. That one was a great improvement, so it went on my main TV, and the old one went to my small bedroom TV.
If they want to charge me a maintenance fee this year, I will upgrade the older box too.
Which means no maintenance payable for this year and beyond.

Dee as I understand it their maintenance charge covers up to three boxes, if you buy a new one it's free maintenance for the first 12 months for that box. I bought a new one just before Xmas but still use the older box in the bedroom so am charged anyway. It's not free for the future they brought out the fee because they were struggling financially and would have gone bust. I paid the fee in July and expect to renew it again this year also
