The subscription that goes dark on holiday
First evening in Bologna, black screen: “content not available in your region”. The Regulation says the opposite: your paid subscription travels with you, at no extra charge, and the law deems you to be watching from home, wherever you are in the Union.
Item no. 1
First evening, black screen

The app, for its part, has decided you have emigrated.
