January 1st, 2016: Is your legacy TVPad still working?

sleeslee Just Watchin`
Happy New Year everyone!

I am in Ontario/Canada and used DNS 49.213.10.163 (no paid DNS, VPN, or second router method), my TVpad3 had stopped working a couple days ago.

Ok, because today is January 1st, 2016, I plugged my TVpad3 back in just to see if it is working or not. To my surprise, it is working again! TVB Live streams and time-shift work, but no VOD.

How about your legacy TVpad?

    Here in UK, tvpad 1 & 3 still working..
  • Just to report that my tvpad 3 in Malaysia is still working. I use Niji to watch live Japanese channels most of the time. Some channels were slow on January 1.

    I will be most thankful to tvpad if it continues to work 70% of the time. And I hope that tvpad can find a way to resolve the legal issues or find a way to bypass it so they can continue to serve tvpad users.

    Yes, I also hope that they can find a way to go around the legal issue and still provide some functions on the legacy TVpads. Even without Live streams, only time-shifted and VOD can be good and enough.

    TVpad 2 still working here for live TV. Thanks to Phantoman, our TVpad 1 also resurrected.

    But a friend said they saw a banner message appear on their box recently quoting service will shut down on 5th January. Anyone else see this banner?

    That DNS server does not work for everybody, maybe it's IP restricted. If I run the following on Windows I get a timeout.

    nslookup google.com 182.140.167.166

    That certainly seems to be the case. Some sort of geo-fencing
