Smart dns is working again with al jaz, but now we won't know till next week if it was just a genuine problem with overplays servers today or something al jaz did to try to stop smart dns working during prem league games!!
Here is the transcript from my chat with support. Not much help or reassurance!!!
32 Your Question: As you are probably aware there was a problem using smart dns with al jazera sports today. Was it a problem with your servers or did al jazera somehow block the use of smart dns.

What they keep doing is leaving the issue until after peak footy time on a Saturday and then saying! Hello, can you please confirm that you are now working! Well Sherlock of course it is working as it is now 8pm! LOL
yep they gone for me overplay ..def question guys do you think jsc server is just clogged up and just cant handle lots of people connecting ..is there to many people doing this now .
dreambox 800 tech 500 ( ubuntu 10 .04)... 1 m dish v box 2 acuator ..
It seems that nbc now connects via smart dns. You just need to enter the alternative dns server into the appropriate box. It's working for replays so it should work for live
Bit peed off with problems yesterday. When I eventually realised it was overplay causing the balls up, I tried hola. This worked fine but not sure if overplay had sorted itself out by that stage. I am wondering whether to just cancel smart dns and use hola instead but I noticed this warning from Watch JSC guide -- Please note ***8211; Using Hola unblocker instead of Overplay may get you banned due to the nature of how it works so you should stick with smartDNS.
Anyone got any views on this?
