    XChemical,

    My primary router is connected to a cable modem. My second router connected to the primary is flashed with DDWRT and setup as PPTP VPN. I use a free trial VPN service with a Hong Kong server. Everything works as expected. I use a laptop to test the internet and check the IP address location which is located in Central District Hong Kong (Hutchison).

    However I couldn't get the 'Green Man'

    It is a TVPAD1 M121 firmware 3.26.

    There is no 'Green Man' with or without VPN. I used to have it with DNS 199 four or five days ago but disappeared two days afterwards.

    By the way, I only have 24 hours to try because the free trial VPN only last for 1 day.

    I don't know how you can get the green man if it don't show up even without the vpn.

    Is anyone with VPN getting Hong Kong TVB video on demand on their TVPAD 4?

    You have to add the ".zip" extension to the file, i.e. rename "T4Android-App" to "T4Android-App.zip"

    The easist way to enjoy TVPAD4. No DNS change. No extra router needed.

    1)Download ZenMate VPN client for Android
    http://apkdler.com/apk/view/ZenMate+Security++Privacy+VPN_com.zenmate.android

    2)Download new banna installer for TVPAD
    http://www.speedyshare.com/KDV2h/batchinstall.banana

    3)Dump both files to root of your USB and insert to back of your TVPAD and install it.

    4)Open zenmate and sign up for 7 days trial. Select Hong Kong Sever and connect.(May need USB mouse to click connect button)

    No need to reboot. Then enjoy full TVPAD function for next 7 days. all apps works!

    It would be nice if ppl who reply would write down.

    Device: ( your model tvpad)
    Dns : ( that worked on your device )
    Country :
    Date ( that you tried and worked r not working any more)
    Conversation: ( thing you want to say or reply)


    It makes it easier for others to search the settings for their device .


    Also. Where can find the meaning s of the error code
    I tried google it but no result . If someone know the meaning.
    Could he or she write it down like

    Abnormal error 1. =. ( meaning)
    Abnormal error 7 = ( meaning) etc

    That would be nice

    Device: TVPad 1 & 2
    DNS: n/a
    Country: UK
    Date: 07/11/15

    Hi all,

    Tried all the available DNS as stated on both my TVPads but neither are working. I'm surprised there are not more websites with discussion threads about the outage. I think this was the only one I could find that was active. Could this be the end of TVPad as we know it?! What's going on!

    I installed zenmate and got it connect to HK, but none of the apps work, not even the KoreaHOT which works without VPN?

    Does anyone have a DNS code for TvPad1?! I'm in the USA, and I am wondering if there's any way for me to get my TVPAD1 to work?
    Please, I really want my TvPad to work!!!

    My Green Man had always showed up ever since a week ago even though nothing works as of now. I don't have a VPN to try yet. Besides, I thought one just needed a VPN outside the US if it is just the U.S. IPs that gets banned unless they are banning U.S. ASN (Autonomous System Numbers), then it's a different issue. As for Hong Kong, I always thought the TVPad was not sold in Hong Kong so not sure if they allow connecting from a Hong Kong based IP or not. Current photo with TVPad not working, you can still see the Green Man is on...

    Felt like I need to contribute, I'm also a victim of the outage, and except for livestream I can't seem to access anything, (obviously cause the server is down for me).

    So with my awesome googling skills, I ended up be the followings:

    Region: UK
    Device: TVpad 3
    IP Address: 192.168.0.(anything but 1, I used 5)
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
    DNS: 49.213.10.163

    Using these I got my TVpad3 to work in the UK.

    Note:
    Foolish me was changing LAN Settings when I'm using wireless, so I went onto WIFI Settings and change the configuration and voil

    Non of the DNS work for my TVPAD1 - with or without VPN. The VPN solution may work for TVPAD2,3 or 4 but definitely TVPAD1. Don't bother to try it!

    The issue is most (if not all) english speaking sites that have information about tvpad are also selling TVpad it self and they are most likely were sent a Cease & Deceased letter from the lawyers for them to stop operations (ala clubtvpad).
