This is the message received from them:
Thank you for contacting FilmOn Customer Support.
Unfortunately, We need to inform you, that we are no longer offering the free SD watching due to contractual requirements with our content vendors.
We're very sorry and apologize for the inconvenience, as we had no possibility to let our Customers know about this change in our service in advance.

Don't use it myself as I use a streaming device, but Filmon did switch off after a few minutes saying my trial period is over...
This has happened a few times in the past, FilmOn did sort it out.

Great while it lasted, but its not the end of the World, for a few pound a month, well worth it.

15 euros a month, to be precise.

Its the main TV entertainment for expats here, no one likes to pay, but a night out in the cinema will cost more.

It works out about the same as the license fee!

Just slightly more than the UK TV licence using todays exchange rate..... unless they put the UK licence up, of course!

Hi All
Try this
http://fmovies.org/
Most things on live TV are on here 24 hours later - just type your requirement in the search bar and see what happens - Its also good for new release films normally on here before release in the UK and Mountains of old stuff - But make sure you get Fmovies.org as there are other sites with very similar addresses that do not work.

There is message on there about interruptions due to volume but carry on and it's working fine.

It is not affecting my two Mags, so far trouble free, may as well go for a Mag Hudswell, just as illegal as all the other streaming TVs on Cy.
As I posted FilmOn have tried this before, they gave up when they lost thousands of users, time will tell of course.

I wasn't aware that the laws of the land in the UK were voluntary if you didn't approve of where the funds went.

I give £145 to charities instead..where I know the money is better spent than lining the pockets of the fat-cat managers and the useless "snowflake" journos who inhabit Al Beeb.

I know no-one who bothers to pay this tax in UK these days..it's a joke!..stop paying it...see what happens! Write to Mustafa Sheikup-Al Beebi.com if you object to the tax.
The UK has one of the lowest tv licence evasion rates in Europe at between 5%-6%. So in fact 95% DO pay....

They are so hot on that I doubt anyone could evade. We paid ours the day we moved into this house but because it had been empty for a few weeks and no one had responded to a letter issued apparently after the previous tenants had advised of their new address we got a threatening letter advising us we were being investigated!!

I know alot of people back in the UK who have stopped paying, when someone comes round,( the BBC uses firms on commission to knock on your door), to collect the unpaid fee, just tell them to get lost..They have no right to enter your house..You tube will show you many such cases. a couple of friends haven't payed for years,
