When I open http://www.novamov.com/video/ebae8639bf098 in a browser I get redirected to http://www.auroravid.to/video/ebae8639bf098 which gives me 'Continue to the video' button. After clicking on it refreshes the page without changing the URL and finally shows the video.
Is it not the case for you?
