NightWind 4th Gear April 26, 2014 Share April 26, 2014 Hi all I am kinda pissed that while other countries broadcast matches fer free we have to pay $112/-. I am already on a VPN and watch Hulu & Netflix movies fer free on my tv and devices. The VPN I use is PIA and fer a cheap $3-5 a month (depending on your plan) I get unrestricted access to servers and websites in US, UK, etc. But you can use any number of VPNs (Hide My Ass, Freedom etc). I have unsubscribed from Starhub fer over a year now and will never ever go back to them. And PIA allows me to load the VPN on upto 5 devices so I can use this on any PC or Laptop at home or on the run. The same concept applies if you wana watch worldcup fer free on your big TV. All you need to start off with is a VPN plan. You can refer to the below also for more details: http://www.flashrouters.com/blog/2014/03/19/how-to-stream-world-cup-2014-live-streaming-live-from-anywhere/ I loaded PIA VPN on my laptop and then sign up fer free for a Hulu & Netflix account and hook the laptop via HDMI to my HD TV. The picture quality is good enuff. Occasionally (very occasionally) there is a slight lag for HD movies but hey I am paying $5 a month so I wont complain. If there are any other bros who are already on a VPN do share your experiences so everyone can gain easy access to good content. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic April 26, 2014 Share April 26, 2014 Why need VPN ? I think I use anonymouX in firefox and I can watch Hulu and netflix. But they limit what you can watch, unless you pay extra. I didn't bother with them after a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightWind 4th Gear April 27, 2014 Author Share April 27, 2014 Lol Turbo, our senile million dollar ministers r untouchable la. Their strategy would be to import more FTs...all from the Man U team. Heck la, y don't Temasick or GLci just go and buy the whole bloody Man U team, or what ever top team they have in Fifa. Sorry bout my lack of knowledge on football. 4 years overdue, and SG still not in the WC. How come, ah? Shouldn't some Emeritus Senile MiniStar have taken a pay cut by now? Hi Kb can u tell me more about AnonymouX? I guess its not a VPN? So does it mask your IP address? How does it by-pass the local MDA restrictions? Why need VPN ? I think I use anonymouX in firefox and I can watch Hulu and netflix. But they limit what you can watch, unless you pay extra. I didn't bother with them after a while.

1fast1 Supersonic April 27, 2014 Share April 27, 2014 (edited) Lol Turbo, our senile million dollar ministers r untouchable la. Their strategy would be to import more FTs...all from the Man U team. Heck la, y don't Temasick or GLci just go and buy the whole bloody Man U team, or what ever top team they have in Fifa. Actually, Nightwind, that was exactly the stated plan. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_in_Singapore#GOAL_2010 Quoting: "Look at the French World Cup football team. In the final against Brazil, I picked Zidane as the most outstanding French player. He is of Algerian descent. Of the 22-players, more than half did not look "French". They looked Argentinian, Armenian, Basque, Caribbean, Ghanaian, New Caledonian. Some were born in France, but of immigrant parents. Others are first generation French citizens. When they went up to receive their medals, President Chirac embraced all of them as Frenchmen. He sent a strong political signal for multi-racialism and against xenophobia: that in France, so long as you contribute to the French cause, it does not matter what colour your skin is or where you were born. Last year I told you Singapore would never have a chance in the World Cup, because the rules require all players to be citizens. But after watching the French victory, I have changed my mind. Maybe if we change our immigration criteria to bring in top football talent and make them citizens, then one day we too can get into the finals. In fact we intend to do just this, to bring in sports talent."[6] Goh Chok Tong, National Day Rally 1998 Speech, commenting further on GOAL 2010 Basically GCT is stating that if it's left to the local born Singaporeans, we have no hope. Only FT importation can give us hope. Makes your blood boil, doesn't it? But *despite* that stupid myopic quickfix policy, he still couldn't make it work. Maybe he was just too cheapskate to pay really top class footballers their due. While our MiniStars are extremely well paid, even their pay packets would pale in comparison to that of the top athletes. They are simply too rich even by MiniStar standards. Going by how they judge dignity in Singapore, I guess that means they can bo hiu our MiniStars as much as they like.

NightWind 4th Gear April 27, 2014 Author Share April 27, 2014 I think its precisely because of this kinda "quick fix" mentality that brought us to the sad state we r in. PAP mentality is to use FT as a universal fix for everything, plunging birth-rates, employement crunch, sports etc If they invested the same time and effort s they do to paying themselves million dollar salaries, these problems would be properly solved. E.g. falling birth-rates. Ask why locals don't wana reproduce and implement a economic and condusive work environment to address these woes. All too often we see the PAP 'PAPER POLICIES" that look good only on paper. Like their policy to allow pregnant mothers to take extended leave. This works only in the civil service. In the private sector the poor woman ends up without a job. any way I am digressing and I think there r many PAP trolls here so we better stay with the subject matter of the tread. Actually, Nightwind, that was exactly the stated plan.See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_in_Singapore#GOAL_2010Quoting:Basically GCT is stating that if it's left to the local born Singaporeans, we have no hope.

I think someone started a FB movement to boycott the Worldcup subscriptions here. $112 is THE MOST EXPENSIVE WORLDCUP price in the world. Anyway I m gonna watch using VPN foc. errr that ministar already go Horland liao.... anyway.... pay $100++ to watch soccer..... nay..... I can play with 2 bigger balls with that kind of $$$$....

Kb27 Supersonic April 27, 2014 Share April 27, 2014 Hi Kb can u tell me more about AnonymouX? I guess its not a VPN? So does it mask your IP address? How does it by-pass the local MDA restrictions? It's a addon, used on firefox, used as a proxy server. So you can choose to have a USA, UK, NL IP etc. If you want to watch Hulu, just set to USA IP. You can test MDA restricted sites with a foreign IP. There are of coz, plenty of other proxy servers and VPN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWind 4th Gear May 3, 2014 Author Share May 3, 2014 Hi Kb27 I am using Anonymox now and it does set a US IP address fer me but many of the foreign US websites like hulu are blocking Proxies and I cant access Hulu using Anonymox. I still need to activate my PIA VPN for full access to all the US websites. Anonymox only gives me limited access. Perhaps I am not using it correctly. Appreciate any tips pls. thks It's a addon, used on firefox, used as a proxy server. So you can choose to have a USA, UK, NL IP etc. If you want to watch Hulu, just set to USA IP.

NightWind 4th Gear May 3, 2014 Author Share May 3, 2014 It should. All the VPNs should since all u need to do is load the VPN client onto your PC. PIA allows installation in upto 5 devices and you can just sign fer a month :) They also provide online chat support :https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/how-it-works/ U can ask em yourself. Anyone knows whether PIA works in Chi na ? :-) Yeah I m using PIA VPN n am quite happy with it. I just need to get it set-up fer the world cup. I still have 2 molnths to do this :) It was working last time. I guess they wise up and start blocking proxy servers. So, you're left with VPN right now.
