no sound on premier league games from abroad

Post by gooner »

Hi,
I am new here & was wondering if somebody can tell me why i have no sound when listening to premier league games from usa via a vpn, this has only started happening the last few weeks, the page loads & everything is normal except the sound.

Thanks, Mike

They probably don't own the rights anymore. I had the same problem when I lived in Cyprus years ago.

Yeah, what Eaststand says, it sounds like a rights/copyright/legal thing.

I can't even listen to 5 Live football commentaries on my stereo via the internet (I'm in the UK). I just get a looped message...."due to rights restrictions we are unable to broadcast blah blah...."

Either that or you've pressed the mute button.

Thanks for the replies, i doubt its a copyright thing as we are supposed to be able to listen from abroad & its still being advertised as such. There is a program called deezer that has the rights in europe but i cant work out how to find the matches on there hence i use usa via a vpn. All worked until last week i think.

Yeah but Talksport give listeners the impression they are travelling all over the world ,commentating at the stadium alongside a pundit when in fact they are watching it on the TV in someday's UK allotment
They also claim exclusive rights for games that are on TV here.

First I’ve heard of this.

I’m sure if it were true, then one of the tS experts, such as Doug, would have mentioned it by now.
