I can’t pay for it from the US

I can download it but it won’t take my payment from the US and everything I want to watch it says I need premium so I’m going to delete it

Login não funciona nas apps

O login através do parceiro Vodafone não funciona. Estou a pagar a subscrição, mas só funciona no browser, em todas as apps (TV, mobile e iPad) perde imediatamente a sessão após login…

Que vergonha!

Acabei de criar uma conta, cobraram me 2x vezes para um Plano mensal através do paypal, recebi dois recibos de fatura! Depois disto a maioria dos conteudos não estão available no UK, inclusivo Rebelde Way. Podeiam ter um disclaimer ou pedir a localização onde me encontro para evitar isto!

Inútil sem Premium

Deixei de conseguir ver o que quer que seja porque sempre que clico em alguma funcionalidade que supostamente me permitiria ver um programa mostra a mensagem de subscrição premium necessária. não quero mais subscrições e não consigo saber se existe alguma coisa que posso ver. a desinstalar..
