Same issue here. Some content playing, some not. I tested with Jono and Ben and it came up with content not found but when I tried again it worked.

Ah. Teething problems. I shall try again in a few days, or when I see the app has updated.

Crossing my fingers for a FanPass app so I can watch the pink-ball day/night cricket test without having to AirPlay. Since my speeds have gone up 50% with the change to the 998 band plan this week, I'm hoping for some nice crisp HD streaming.

If you are in NZ you don't have to set the 3Now app to New Zealand. Thats only for when you are outside of the country.

I am sorry. But it appears I was wrong. Checked with Unotelly and this is what they answered:

If you select Australia, you'll have access to the channels listed under it. With this option set, you'll not be able to access TV3 New Zealand and TVNZ since these channels are on a different group even if you're physically in New Zealand.

When I asked if they could change this, I got this reply:

It won't be possible to have the channels of both regions accessible at the same time since they're using different content delivery networks (CDN).

Channels are grouped together with the countries and Dynamo options based on whether they use the same CDN or if the same service is available from different countries with different content.

I think support meant "Same content delivery network", which would make sense (and the second paragraph also points to that. Telling the same content delivery network that you are coming from 2 different locations is probably not possible to achieve :(

Sorry about the confusion I created.

To add to the confusion, last night I successfully got some of Jono and Ben to play while my Dynamo was set to Australia, but perhaps that's only because they forgot to geo-block that content? Other shows wouldn't play. Anyway, it only requires a 5-second change on the iPad to switch between the two, so it's no major drama.

Has anyone got TenPlay to work with Getflix. I set Channel group B to Australia (for 9 Jumpin, PLUS7, Stan, and TenPlay) but I get an error on the home page " Opps, an error occurred while connecting".
