Looks like Shaw has done something weird to Free Range. I was using it a fair bit to watch programming on a TV in my bedroom via Chromecast. They don't have Chromecast support so I would just cast my device screen and fire up Free Range and watch on the TV. As of this week that doesn't work anymore. When I am casting my screen and try to play Free Range it says that it can only be watched on a mobile device due to agreements with the networks. When I stop casting Free Range works properly on my device.
This is a huge pain in the ass. Free Range is still pretty good but enabling this restriction really sucks. I'm also assuming that as a result of this they will never actually add Chromecast to the functionality.
