British Tv Club closed down – UK TV by Internet Service closed down by the anti-piracy authorities
British TV Club, that provided UK TV channels to subscribers, appears to have been closed down by the anti-piracy authorities.
British TV Club was popular with British expats as it provided access to UK TV channels via the internet for a subscription without the need of a VPN to get around geoblocking that is employed by the official UK TV broadcasters.
British TV Club webpage has the following banner :
Showing that the British TV Club service has been closed, and the webpage taken over by antipiracy group “alliance4creativity”.
A user of British TV Club posted this on Trustpilot on the 2nd May 2024 :
Shut down with no notice, unable to contact anyone or get refund
This was a working and reliable TV service, that is, up until recently when I can’t access it at all. When I try to go to their website, all it says is “Maintenance mode” and then another message saying “The British TV Club has closed down for legal reasons.”
This happened completely out of the blue, out of nowhere, with no further explanation. Could it have been shut down permanently, or is it just a temporary shut down (as implied by being in so-called “maintenance mode”)? Who’s to know. They should be a little bit more clearer about that.
At the end of the day, I am unable to claim a refund, I am unable to contact the owner of the service, I am essentially unable to do anything at all. I’ve basically just been locked out with no chance of getting my money back.
When it works, it works. Reliably too. But unfortunately it just seems as though they have taken my money and ran. That is not okay.
This comes when another internet based UK TV service Teeveeing has been experiencing legal issues, despite claiming to be “fully legal”, with many customers left without UK TV and losing money paid.
