@bazzacollins Can't you just change it on your PC / tablet / whatever?

@paulockenden You can, but it's a faff. And I've had problems doing this on some PCs in the past. -
@bazzacollins@paulockenden I suppose spinning up a box to run DHCP/DNS internally would be overkill… -
@pjbryant@PaulOckenden Does seem a little OTT. -
@bazzacollins what about your own router, and use the sky box as a "modem" -
@pjbryant Yep, am considering it, although two hops doubles chances of connection issues and doubles power draw.

@bazzacollins how can this be allowed? do you think its to protect sky football? e.g. change dns to get streaming football W/O sky sports? -
@Hicksmat I imagine piracy comes into it. They’re forced to block sites. Harder if they don’t control DNS, I guess. -
@bazzacollins so the way around it is either a) use a different router/hub or b) configure individual devices with DNS? -
@hicksmat That's about the sum of it. Apparently Sky's set to relax router restrictions, but no date for that.

@bazzacollins are you using the router that they supplied? -
@RamblingGeekUK Yes.
-
@bazzacollins why not change it for a draytek or something and put your own dns in? Or do they block all but there's? -
@RamblingGeekUK It’s a faff. Have to use software to extract logins as non-Sky routers not supported. May try soon, though.

@oscargrump They promised that to Be customers. Not sure that applies to their own customers, but I hope it does. -

Agree. I also want to use OpenDNS “
