FilmOn

[rolly]

We have been using FilmOn for a few years and paying their monthly fee to allow recording and the system does not seem to be working. My wife has been attempting email contact for clarification (as she has in the past) but is now getting messages from Microsoft that the FilmOn email 'system' is refusing contact with ours. Anyone know what is happening? Many thanks.

Dennis why pay film on £15 a month when you can get tv mucho for 48 euros a year includes loads of channels and catch up service and is very easy to use

If you have an Android box then TV Catchup from the Play store gives you live TV as does "UK TV Now" - not from play store but direct from internet (Goggle is your friend) - both are free

I suppose if you use IPTV and your ISP is rubbish it don't matter whether you use FilmOn, TV Mucho or any other TV supplier.

So d you know of a good and RELIABLE   ISP

I have a android box but it won’t load kodi or any catch-up apps and what is a ISP ?

[rolly]

Thanks Dave for the link showing a lot of other people are experiencing the same problem, with difficulty in making contact with FilmOn. First step is to cancel monthly payment then decide upon future tv viewing.

Your ISP is your Internet Service Provider. Mine is Movistar (was Telefonica)and I rarely get problems. Of course, not everyone in these parts can get a landline. It depends where you live.

So from what you said a landline is preferable??

There are Android boxes to suit any depth of pocket; however even a Firestick can be loaded with Kodi. Are you sure it's Android and not an Apple TV box? Let us know the make / model and we may be able to help.

Most landlines are stable but it is possible to have a duff landline. Sometimes being too far from the nearest box gives an iffy service also. It doesn't matter which ISP you use, only Telefonica will repair it.

We haven´t always been with Movistar (Telefonica) and when we´ve had problems they´ve been very swift to act. I think they are overly maligned, at least in my experience.

[brianbig61]

jj we've had a landline and Internet/wifi with Telefonica/Movistar for 15 years and been using FilmOn since the demise of satellite TV. NEver had a serious problem with either Movistar or FilmOn . . . Easy to use, gives us what we want. We use an old iPhone and Apple TV to watch TV. TvMucho requires the latest iOS, so we are unable to use it.

I have heard people say they are using a Firestick so yes it seems that it does work here. I know it can be side loaded with Kodi so you should be able to get everything you need from one

Hola Dave
Thanks for your reply do I need to have a smart tv to do this?

[daviebhoy]

My wife has been attempting email contact for clarification (as she has in the past) but is now getting messages from Microsoft that the FilmOn email 'system' is refusing contact with ours. Anyone know what is happening? Many thanks.

Yes, I too paid for their recording service and for a week now nothing has been recording. I tried 5 different support email addresses (which I had used previously) and each one comes back undelivered.

No quite the opposite - an Android box / Firestick does the same job as a smart TV - sometimes better !!!

Apparently FilmOn have updated their system but are waiting for some other things to be updated so that everything will work - and I quote - "even better"

Good luck with that LOL

[rolly]

Dave, you may have received the message from FilmOn we got yesterday saying they had updated their 'systems' and today it has returned! Thank you to all who contributed.

I can bring the box to you're house fully programmed and provide step by step instructions on how to get the channels you require. Including UK television and sports.Also loads of movies and series. Price is 80 euros all in and no monthly cost. All you require is a good internet connection (minimum 3-4 mega bytes) and a tv with an hdmi connection. Pm me if your interested.
