Streaming - DAZN

[Chris Powell's mate]

Thanks to @RHB and others, have ploughed through the options for a VPN.
Unless one has I-Pad and/or I-Phone, Nord is not an option, I'm informed.
My MacAir has been upgraded to OS16, so what are the safe, viable alternatives that DAZN won't block, please?

Hi, I am running Nordvpn quite happily on my MacBook running OS 13 Ventura ( 2 OS/years out of date). Are you the chap that can't access the website to download the software from earlier in this thread? If so, have you tried downloading a different browser such as Chrome or Firefox?

Just one other thing. I'm not being pedantic here but the latest Mac OS is 15 (sept 24). OS 14 and 15 only work on the very latest Mac's (Intel chip not supported any longer). You can check by clicking on the apple logo (top left) and select about this mac for your version and chip type.

Not true, it works fine on Apple TV and PC

Also works on Android TV.

Thanks for the update. I don't have Apple TV, and 'PC'?

Well, I suppose today’s 1-1 draw against Rochdale was way better than another home loss, but good God all-fuggin-mighty , what a horrible, hair pulling, teeth grinding, swearing, dog kicking*, frustrating, anger provoking experience it all was. Trying to watch the TV presentation with non stop pixelating and constant buffering …..plus the sound quality akin to the microphone being inside someone’s outdoors Carsey bowl , …….was enough to lose the will to live …. Or smash the TV to bits.
I am aware of at least four of the other matches ( and possibly all or most of them ) televised today suffered no tech issues at all …. With the entire games being broadcast trouble free , and with no picture interference.
I never have a problem watching any TV channels regardless of the source. My home WiFi is boosted and fast, and given that other matches in different locations were watchable without problems , I just wonder if there is a local tech issue when being televised from Roots Hall. ???
Don’t “beat me up” if that is a silly question….. I have ZERO tech ability, I don’t understand these things at all, and after 95 minutes of pure hell, haven’t got the energy or willpower to go through the 28 previous pages of this thread.

Any ideas ???

Strange - picture was fine for me. The audio had someone pressing keys on a mobile or something for a short period, but again no major issues

Yes, I also had no trouble at all.

Did anyone watching on the stream last night get the pop up box giving score updates? It gave our goal announcement about 10 seconds before it happened! It really spoiled it for me. Especially when Aldershot were about to take their corner and a goal announcement came up. After that I spent more time looking out for another pop up when the ball was pinging around our box. Thankfully nothing appeared. Hopefully I have turned off pop ups from DAZN.com in Microsoft Edge now, I'll find out next time!

Yup! Just this, and as said: really irritating...

Excellent value, tenner for the seven days including 2 lives and all the full replays if you want to watch later than kick off!

It happened for me twice during the Barnet game. However on Tuesday I never got it before our 2 goals but before the Aldershot goal.

Like you said, very spoiling, and totally unnecessary. Especially if the timing is out of sync. With it not happening on every game I am not sure if it is a Microsoft Edge thing or not. To be honest I have not checked my pop ups. For the reason of inconsistency as I mentioned. I may do now though. Thanks for the tip.

I use Nord vpn France. No idea if that helps you.

I think I got that message last weekend. It was because I hadn't bought my weekly pass first. This has been on a previous posts but the way to get the stream to work is.... Logon to UK DAZN as normal and buy your game pass. Close your browser completely and launch your VPN and start your browser. When you logon to DAZN it will be the U.S. website and the game should be streamable.

I was using Chrome on my windows 11 laptop and never got this message. I rebuilt my laptop last weekend (long story!) and was just using Edge as I hadn't got round to Chrome install yet and got the pop up scores for all the games that night. I reckon it is an Edge issue. I'll reinstall Chrome and find out tomorrow!
Of course this was only out of interest on accessing a game. I in no way endorse illegal access to watching streamed matches.
