Natasha Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 In the "praising-TotalPlay " topic of a couple of days ago, ea93105 (unrelatedly) complained about not being able to watch FIFA Argentina-Netherlands game on TotalPlay tv. I was in the same boat that day so googled my way to a solution that might make a few other people happy. VIX is a FREE TV service (don't confuse with VIX+ (aka plus)----not free)to Latin American countries in all kinds of categories...... and that includes all the remaining 2022 World Cup matches. Mr. Google said I could download it onto my Samsung Smart TV. My TV said "I don't think so.....". I have ZERO idea if it's my usual tech-stupidity or because the TotalPlay TV mini-modem sitting under the set itself (for watching TP's Mexican channels) objected. Don't care. Mr. Google said "you can also download it onto your Amazon FIrestick". So I tried again...... and failed. A little more fiddling around later and VOILA!!!! It's there, it works (England-France) , and the source it used was actually the TUDN service the basic TP channel package doesn't contain. So if you're in a similar boat, this will work. And believe me.... if I could do it there's not one person on the planet who could not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 When I called Total Play about not being to find it they said " we don't have the rights to it" I hope the remaining games will be covered as my firestick went "missing" after a recent cleaning by a maid.

Natasha Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 TUDN is channel 503 in the advanced package. You would be able to see it there . It's not a case of the rights ( sometimes the phone people mean well, but aren't as knowledgeable as needed in some situations....and then language interferes.. Been there.... done that.) That said, if you google, you'll see where you SHOULD be able to download VIX directly onto your television....... supposedly pretty easy. I couldn't do it, but then that's NO indicator of anyone else's ability. OR perhaps you can download it to your laptop or desktop? FYI, I never agree to "link" my cell phone to my desktop when prompted, but after putting VIX on my television yesterday, when I turned on the cell last night, up came a "download VIX now" on my cell phone screen. HUH????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 You can access VIX using ROKU I'm Guessing Firestick or Android TV also On your home computer as well. Sky has about 5-6 different channels with the matches Azteca TV at least one channel Fox Sports on Dish Network USTVGO carries Fox 1 and Fox 2 if you have a USA VPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natasha Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I THINK I heard the sports guy on Mexican Guad channel 4 say, this a.m., that Guad Channel 5 will have the games this week. This is the channel that carried games as long as Mexico was involved so we can hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
