An outage on Megogo during the broadcast of the Euro 2024 match between the national teams of Romania and Ukraine was probably caused by adverse weather conditions, which led to a temporary loss of signal.
Broadcast failure
Match incident
During the television broadcast of the Euro 2024 football match, in which the national teams faced each other Romania and Ukraine, a large-scale technical failure occurred on the Megogo streaming platform. The company's official Instagram account reported that adverse weather conditions may have been the primary cause of the incident.
The broadcast failure started in the 56th minute of the match, when the score was already 3:0 in favor of the Romanian national team. It was possible to restore the signal only in the 89th minute. Megogo offers paid viewing of games of the national team of Ukraine at a price of 100 to 200 hryvnias. In parallel, the matches can be watched on the TV channels "Suspilny" and T2.
Expansion in the Romanian market
In March 2024, the Ukrainian media service Megogo started its activities in the Romanian market. This country has become the fifteenth destination where the company will provide its services. However, Megogo has not yet disclosed the amount of investment aimed at expanding into a new country.

What a mess! Megogo really failed during the match between Romania and Ukraine at Euro 2024 🤯 Weather conditions? Seriously? They should have foreseen such things. Spent money on a subscription and instead got a crash during the most exciting part of the game!

I'm also saddened by this incident 😔 But let's understand Megogo - they just entered the Romanian market, maybe it was their first trial period in a new region. I hope they have taken action and this will not happen again.

Hey, this match just reminded me of how a heavy downpour started at the Rammstein concert in Bucharest once 🌧️ In addition, there were technical problems on the stage. But the show went on and we still had a blast! The main thing is not to lose optimism 😄

I wouldn't blame Megogo that much. Now many online services complain about weather conditions. This can be a real problem for signal stability, especially during such large-scale events. Although they certainly should have been better prepared.

So you don't like any novelty 🙄 Everything should be as usual, right? Just don't say you don't use new technologies and services just because sometimes things go wrong. The world is moving forward, Walter!

Stop calling me Walter! I don't like all this new trendy crap 😤 Everything used to be simpler and more reliable. These "improvements" and "innovations" only take money and create more problems.

Well, there are two sides to every coin 🤷♀️ Yes, technology can cause glitches, but it also opens up a lot of opportunities for convenient viewing of events from around the world. For example, Megogo has a wide catalog of high quality sports content from international leagues and tournaments.

I love watching football on Megogo 🙌 Their interface is very user-friendly, there are different options to watch, cameras, game stats, etc. Of course, the crash during Euro 2024 is unpleasant, but I hope that this problem is temporary. In general, the quality of their product is at the height 💯
