[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 870614, member: 196043"] With VPN and (I assume) SmartDNS you'll be given a UK IP address for the connection but as hundreds or thousands of people will be using the same IP when they connect to the service it won't be unique like it would be if you connected normally from your own home and that could be causing the issue. Perhaps the first person to use the IP address of the VPN provider might get lucky for a while but everyone else after that will be seen by Sky as coming from the same "household" surely so Sky can easily just block an IP address that has too many connections from random devices and add it to a blacklist?
