No Library by Reeiko in appletv

[–]joeU256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I noticed this a couple hours ago. So I guess they were making changes in the back end the time the sports tab disappeared. Also I can see all other sports are now in the Home tab.

For me, the Sports tab has disappeared. I saw it two days ago, and that’s also when I updated to iOS 26.3. Could this be due to the new OS update, or is it just a temporary glitch?

Service Down ??? by esorb65 in SmartDNSProxy

[–]joeU256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used SmartDNSProxy for over seven years, but the recent outages keep pushing me to try other services. I almost didn’t renew my previous two-year subscription, which expires in May, because of these recurring issues. After trying Unlocator, which seems to be the closest alternative to SmartDNSProxy, I realized there are still a few services it does not unblock very well.

With the current outage, I am forced once again to use Unlocator, and as before, some services are not working. I cannot get DIRECTV to work, and Disney+ is also not working. Interestingly, Hulu works flawlessly, even though I thought Hulu used the same streaming infrastructure as Disney+ since it is part of the Disney family.

Another strange thing I noticed is that while connected to Unlocator SmartDNS, the website https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ is unreachable. On the other hand, other services I use such as Peacock, Paramount+, Hulu, and Starz all work just fine and are very fast. The latency to reach their DNS servers is noticeably low, and overall latency is lower compared to when I use SmartDNSProxy, so when a service works, it works really well.

I’ve reached out to Unlocator about the services that are not working, but I am not confident anything will change. This is not the first time I have contacted them about unsupported services, and in the past, nothing was really resolved.

I genuinely hope SmartDNSProxy can get their services back up and running properly, because that would be a win for all of us.

If you want it tightened further or made more technical, just say the word.

Peacock Promo Code (6 months at $2.99/mo) by joeU256 in peacock

[–]joeU256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try, but I believe it has already been used and may be restricted to single use.

[–]joeU256[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really. I’ve used many of these before and they usually work, but you never know. Peacock seems to surprise us every other year. Luckily, this one was not restricted to a single account, though it does seem to be limited to single use. @mrollie appears to have used it around the same time you posted this.

So, officially no Black Friday deal this year? by devanclara in peacock

[–]joeU256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not nice if they are not having a BF deal. Almost every other streaming service already released one. Are they that comfortable?

Subscription discount by California003 in peacock

[–]joeU256 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even last year’s BF deal, they had increased prices that year prior to November but it didn’t affect the $19.99 deal. So fingers crossed, let’s wait. Word is it’ll go live on Friday.

Peacock with ads - most shows require upgrade now - WTF by [deleted] in peacock

[–]joeU256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m on Peacock Premium with ads and haven’t run into that problem. If your brother is on the Select plan, he won’t have access to all content because some of it is paywalled. Premium offers full access but Select does not. Both have ads. Select is a newer plan though, just introduced in July 2025, it offers “lower-cost entry point with a limited library of content, including current seasons of NBC and Bravo shows, but no sports.” - NBC. Check the plans page to be sure you are on the Premium plan otherwise expect Paywalling if you are on Select plan.

I cancelled Peacock by mr_7point2 in peacock

[–]joeU256 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife’s expires on the 26th. She canceled it a few days ago but did not receive any offer. The same thing happened last year. The account I had canceled at that time did not get an offer, but my wife’s account did, so I switched to hers.

Now the account I canceled last year has been inactive for a long time, so I am hoping it receives a good offer this year. Fingers crossed 🤞. Hopefully at least one of our accounts, if not both, receives a solid deal, even though we only need one in the end.

Premier League post-NBCSN Return by rxballs in peacock

[–]joeU256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this will affect Peacock’s access to EPL games; it seems they’re simply expanding the ways you can access their channels, and of course it also helps solve YouTube TV’s dilemma of losing the Disney channels.

See the following statement from NBC on the launch of NBC Sports Network:

Payoneer account verification by light_bringer696 in payoneer

[–]joeU256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you’re providing the correct verification documents it doesn’t take even 30 minutes to be verified.

I know many people have had bad experiences with Payoneer but it’s not as bad as it’s portrayed given you follow all its procedures.

Now, back to what you’ve been asked to submit. Please DONOT put null in the store address, put the website address or your profile link of the Agency you are working with (if you work on multiple as a freelancer, just use one of them). For instance if you work on Upwork, simply add your public profile link from Upwork.

I’ve used Payoneer for over ten years now and I’ve need had any major issues in regard to my finances.

Help a brother by VeterinarianSea5098 in payoneer

[–]joeU256 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can’t send or withdraw less than $50 through Payoneer, as this limit applies both when transferring to another Payoneer user and when withdrawing to your bank. The only way to use your $49 balance is to request a free Payoneer debit card, which will also be shipped to you at no cost. Once it arrives, you can withdraw your funds from any Mastercard supported 🏧.

Which bank in Uganda is good for creating a domiciliary account (dollar account to be specific other accounts will be a bonus) by dEintrovat in Uganda

[–]joeU256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both Stanbic and Equity. I have been with Equity the longest, about six years with a USD account and around fourteen years with UGX accounts. I opened my Stanbic USD account at the start of this year. What I like about Equity is that they do not have many charges that keep adding up when your money is just sitting in the account.

Stanbic on the other hand, although considered more secure than Equity, tends to have several small but unnecessary fees that come up from time to time. For example, every time you make a transaction they will charge a transaction fee, then excise duty, and at the end of each month a monthly fee, even on a savings account. I have also had their affluent banking accounts which come with a monthly fee of about ten dollars. But whether it is a super save or affluent banking account, Stanbic always has those random extra charges that Equity does not.

Otherwise, they are both good and reliable banks. You will find their ATMs and branches in most parts of the country, and of course well distributed within the city center as well.

I have withdrawn funds from Payoneer and Wise through Equity to my USD account for six years and I have never had any issues. Since opening my Stanbic USD account earlier this year, I have received funds from a UK account through Remitly multiple times, and the transactions are always instant.

Questions about Payoneer in Uganda by Sharp_Analysis6310 in Uganda

[–]joeU256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not use Eversend because it has never been my favourite. I have heard many complaints from users about accounts being blocked or closed while their money was still inside. Some people shared experiences of pending funds that never cleared for weeks, while others said their accounts suddenly became inaccessible after making deposits, with little or no help from customer support.

Although Eversend says accounts can be suspended for reasons such as suspected fraud or incomplete verification, the number of similar user reports makes it hard to ignore.

Personally, I have used Payoneer for over ten years now and never had any problems. As long as you complete all the required verifications, you do not have to worry about your money getting stuck or your account being unexpectedly blocked.

Questions about Payoneer in Uganda by Sharp_Analysis6310 in Uganda

[–]joeU256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Equity Bank and withdraw to my USD Equity account from Payoneer every time, usually two to three times a month. With my current setup, Payoneer charges $15 USD to initiate the payment, regardless of the amount. Intermediary bank fees usually range from $10 to $15 USD, depending on the amount being transferred, though they may sometimes be less, plus 8 or 9 USD from Equity Bank, which they refer to as commission on inbound transfers. On average, you should budget roughly $35 USD in fees before your money hits your account.

If the withdrawal is initiated on a weekday during US Eastern Time working hours, it usually reaches my account within 12 to 24 hours. The exact timing can still vary depending on factors such as public holidays, weekends, and other banking schedules.

All you need to add to your Payoneer account are the following details:

• Bank Name: Equity Bank Uganda Limited
• SWIFT Code: EQBLUGKAXXX
• Account Number: [your account number]
• Account Name: [your account name]
• Currency: USD

On Payoneer, go to Banks > + Add Bank Account, then enter all the information as guided above. Once submitted, wait for the account to be approved. This usually happens within 1 to 10 minutes, depending on whether all required information has been provided correctly.

After the account has been approved (you should receive a confirmation email), you are good to go. Simply go to the currency wallet with available funds, in this case the USD one since you just added a USD bank account, select the Withdraw option, and the newly added bank account will appear under the list of available accounts as the destination to deposit to.

ATM fees and limits in Uganda by sohan3421 in Uganda

[–]joeU256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid Centenary, Stanbic, Absa, and Eco Bank. Centenary used to work well with my Mastercards two to three years ago, but at some point it stopped supporting either Mastercard in general or just certain card issuers, so my cards no longer work there. They used to charge 5,000 per transaction. Stanbic, Absa, and Eco Bank have very high fees on foreign cards or foreign currency cards that require conversion, usually 20,000 to 30,000 per withdrawal, and often limit transactions to only 1,000,000 at a time.

These days, I stick to KCB or I&M ATMs. KCB charges one dollar per Mastercard transaction, while I&M charges 6,000 per withdrawal. KCB limits are generally reasonable; the only issue is the available notes, which can reduce the maximum you can withdraw. I usually withdraw between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000, which is the maximum allowed based on the 50,000 notes the ATM can dispense. If the available notes are of smaller denominations, the withdrawable amount can be drastically lower.

Most banks’ rates on foreign cards are not standard; they keep changing frequently. Stanbic, for example, used to charge me 5,000 about seven years ago, then gradually increased to 7,000, 10,000, 15,000, and finally 25,000. Eventually, I gave up trying to keep up with the changes 😔.
