Problem with 4OD

[Deleted User]

Last week I registered with 4OD, on my Hudl 2, and watched a couple of episodes of a show, on Catchup.

Today, I went to watch the latest episode, but, instead of playing the episode, it went to THIS PAGE.

I clicked to install the app, but it says it's already installed. :huh:

Ideas anyone?

I would just uninstall it and then install it again if this is still an issue.

OK, I've reinstalled, and it's working again. :j

BTW. Does anyone know, if there are geographical restrictions on the 4OD app, ie. will I be able to watch catchup, while in Europe?

Yes there are geographical restrictions, and you will only be able to watch whilst in the UK. That is, unless you use a vpn, in which case you will be able to watch. Just tried it out here to make sure for you, and can't access with my local IP, but can using the VPN.
I think that you will find all of the UK channels are the same, BBC, ITV, Channel 5.

Am sure it was mentioned on another thread, FilmOn is pretty good for watching live UK tv. Remember the time differences though, depending on where you are. My brother who is visiting just now, wanted to watch something at the weekend and wondered why something different was showing, until I mentioned we were 2 hours ahead of the UK.

4OD has been, or is being, replaced by All4 - you might want to have a look for that app.

Can you set up a VPN, on an Android tablet?

I am sure that you can with a Hudl. I know that I did set up VPN on the original Hudl for a friend, so can't think why you wouldn't be able to do that on a Hudl 2. Unfortunately, it was quite a while ago, so I can't quite remember how to go about it off the top of my head. All I can tell you for sure, it is somewhere in the settings. Sorry for being flippant.
Seriously, if no one can help you further with this, give me a shout back, and will get my friend's Hudl and have a look for you, as I don't have an android phone or tablet at hand.

OK. I've found the VPN screen.

Can someone guide me through setting it up?

Thanks.

Does the VPN that you use not give instructions on how to set it up?
Have a look at this article which shows you clearly what to do.
