Surely this is a quick fix - just geolock comedy central content from uk users, server side?

Why the delay?

Hey Evardson,

Comedy Central site was offline yesterday, can you verify please that this issue still happen?
If yes, is the all content contains only clips or there are only few specific show/episodes that are clips? which series?

Thanks for your helping,
Asaf

Just tried a few random shows (mike&Molly, we are klang, Live at the apollo, 30 rock, friends) all of them give me a clip of between one and one and a half minutes in length.

Obviously there are only 25 shows on there anyway and its easy enough to hide the channel but with it having content like friends on there they shoot right to the top of the Most Popular Shows list which is what most new users are going to see and then wonder why they aren't getting full episodes.

One more question please, what is your location?
We just want to make sure that it's not a geo issue.

Thanks a lot,

Yeh I'm in the UK so it must be a geo limit. Just clicked those links through my browser on the laptop and it only gives me clips.

hope that helps.
