  • If you have a subscription from another EU country then it must work in every other EU country even if subscriptions aren’t offered in that country.

    For example, I’m in Ireland and Sky has exclusive broadcast rights for F1 here. So what I did was i used a VPN to create an F1TV account in Portugal. Once the Portugeuse subscription is active it just works as normal in Ireland and I don’t need a VPN any more for normal use.

    I did this about 2 years ago and just set the Portuguese subscription to auto-renew annually and I haven’t had to use a VPN at all in those two years.

    If i go travelling outside the EU I use my own VPN server at home. By connecting to my home network via VPN, F1TV thinks I’m watching from my home network, which means i can watch F1TV from anywhere in the world.













  • Second world doesn’t mean axis powers, it represented the Soviet Union and Soviet aligned countries.

    Its a cold war term. The terms represent the two remaining superpowers after WW2.

    1st world = The US and US aligned countries

    2nd world = Soviet Union and Soviet aligned countries

    3rd world = Non-aligned countries. Which just happened to be mostly under developed countries, which is why the term is now used for that. It didn’t actually mean under developed at first. For example, Switzerland is technically a 3rd world country despite being rich and highly developed.




  • Before anyone says “you put all your eggs in one basket,” let me be clear: I didn’t. I put them in one provider, with what should have been bulletproof redundancy

    Tldr; “I didn’t put all my eggs in one basket. I put them into multiple smaller baskets and put those into one basket. That’s still more than one basket right? …right!?”
