Guess the new VOD server is down right now, since no VOD (Movies) seem to work. I tried a half a dozen, mixed new and old. Oh well, such is life.
TV Series seem to work. They have the usual 30 to 45 second delay starting, but once they start, they seem to play fine (I tried 3 episodes of different series).
LiveTV, Yes there are quite a few channels that seem to be down. But that could also be at source, so not necessarily much wicked can do for those unless they have other sources. Still plenty to watch, so no big deal.
Tried with no VPN and with 3 different VPN server locations.
Holidays don't help much, since staff is probably out enjoying the well deserved break.
If people can't live with downtime, then they should always have backup services. They are so cheap nowadays. Or if they don't want to deal with it, they can then just sub to their local cable service.
