Last night watching World Cup - BBC on Filmon the screen displayed that Fifa wouldn't allow the broadcast in in my country (Spain).

Did anyone else experience this?

Just tried it a few minutes ago and I am getting the same message. :(

Workaround:

Hola didn't seem to connect with Filmon (maybe it will but I gave up waiting) but the Hola extension for Firefox or Chrome works fine with BBC 1

and with the BBC Sport website.

Hola Extension: https://hola.org/ (https://hola.org/)

I'm guessing it'll work for the world cup on ITV too.

England game's on Spanish TV tonight. Cuatro or Telecinco can't remember at the moment.

Thanks Biggles for the tip. Put ITV on 10 minutes before the show started and watched the whole game, no problem, no FIFA warning. Shame England couldn't win.
