Teeveeing not working

[Cotillo_Tom]

Anyone using teeveeing.com, the successor to tvmucho?

Screen went black this afternoon, just get a black page on browser or app.  However, if I use VPN to connect to UK, France, Germany or Portugal, it all works fine.  However, without VPN, nothing!

Thinking it may have been blocked by Movistar or by Spain.  Welcome any feedback from any other users please.

I wondered why mine was working and a couple of friends weren't. But I had the VPN on, so that explains it

Teeveeing support replied. Whilst they are fixing the problem the only way you can access Teeveeing at the moment is to use a VPN Service to identify your connection is NOT Spain. UK, Germany, France, Portugal all work fine.

Be aware, free VPN services are unlikely to have sufficient bandwidth to stream television or video, but worth a try if you don't have a VPN Service. Personally, I tried ExpressVPN and was disappointed. NordVPN works well for me and others.

Hi Tom,

I am curious why you use teeveeing when you already pay for a premium VPN like Nord ? Why do you not simply use the actual free channel apps such as iplayer, itvx etc via the VPN instead of paying for both the VPN and teeveeing ?

I have chosen the teeveeing route for a few years now without the need to pay for a VPN but clearly this is an issue right now....

It's actually quite a long story, so the very short version: We didn't need or use VPN for many years, so tvmucho etc al teeveeing were a perfect solution. Last year, for other reasons, I needed to provide VPN to a whole group of people, so I obtained a group license (very cost effective compared to individual subscription). It was my intention not to renew with tvmucho/teeveeing this year.

Thanks. I’d prefer to keep using teeveeing rather than pay for a VPN so hope they can sort things out.

See the attachment for further information on this issue.

The title of the email mentioned 'compensation' but not a word about it in the email!

I suspect it will need to be settled at a court hearing, so don't hold your breath folks.

Hi Tom,

Do you (or anyone else) know if the teeveeing app is back up and running over there without the need for a VPN or is it still being blocked by the Spanish authorities ?

Is it operational with a VPN ?

Many thanks for any info.

Still blocked in Spain, but if you use VPN to connect to UK, Germany, France etc, you can still watch it. However, if you need to pay for a good quality VPN, why pay for Teeveeing? Use the VPN to connect to ITVX, Channel 4, 5, BBC etc.
