Streaming matches online

[SoMuch4Gravity]

Anyone know a place where I can watch the matches live online when I can't make it to the pub? Don't care if i have to pay, so long as it's stable/decent quality. Cheers :)

Just to clarify, posting links to sites, especially those who host copyrighted material on another site, isn't going to get anybody in trouble. Only if Dave hosted copyrighted material would he be in trouble.

Could somebody pm me a decent site to get European football on. Don't care if there is a fee along as there is English commentary and a decent stream.

[SoMuch4Gravity]

Thanks for the PM's. I think it's strange there's not some 'official' place where you can pay per game or season to stream games live. I understand teams are going to want locals to show up and fill the seats, but the Atlantic is a bit far of a commute for me.

 

If anyone else has ideas, PM me or list them here. Anyone else can PM for the link and i'll pass them on if it works out well. Thanks again.

Wasn't to sure so just pm'd them to be on the safe side thanks for clearing it up though.

Waddy if you could PM me the same list, you'd be a shift + 8.

if you can afford it get a dreambox and a dish and card share of somebody.

the initial outlay can be pricey about £300 but once you've got it you can get all the uk sky channels and all the 3pm saturday footy in hd for about £80a year.

It's not that easy I'm afraid.

 

I'm an electrician and looked into it all last year because I was fucking fed up of lining Murdoch's pockets through my Sky subscription and it's actually pretty complex. In brief;

 

You can't buy a dish and point it at some foreign satellite and get Prem footy. Every signal is scrambled.

 

The 'Dreambox' won't get you subscription footy. You need to be in, (an illegal), 'card sharing' scheme. Basically this means that you buy the card for the footy, someone else buys the card for the porn, someone else buys the sky movies card etc, and then you all pool your resources and the dreambox will unscramble the signal with your combined card details. It's really difficult to join the card sharing schemes, especially if you're not contributing anything because no-one wants a fucking freeloader joining their scheme because the more people on it, the more chance there is of you getting caught.

 

You can buy a satellite box and a big enough dish, point it at a satellite and then buy a card from that country to unscramble their signal but this is going to cost you. Basically you need to set up the dish so it hits the right satellite, make sure you've got a set top box that'll take the card you've bought and buy a years subscription. When I looked into it you were looking at around £250 for the dish and the box and then anywhere between £150-£300 for the right card. But there's another problem..

 

Sky can apply to the government to have satellite signals stopped. So if too many people end up buying foreign cards then they're entitled to shut off the signal. There's conflicting reports as to whether this has ever happened or not but the worst case scenario is that you buy your shiny new card and then 2 weeks later the signal goes down. You'll notice that all the people selling the cards, (there used to be a load on ebay, I don't know if there still is), all clearly state, 'NO REFUNDS'. There's a reason for this.

 

In the end, I got rid of Sky. Got a freeview hd box, and with the money I was saving by not having Sky, (around £400 a year if memory serves), I buy tickets for as many home games as I can afford and upgraded my internet connection to Virgin's fibre-optic on 50mb and decided to take my chances with the streams. They've been well above average so far. Decent, (although never perfect), pictures and myp2p offer every single game and the only one I can remember being unwatchable was the Wigan away game. The rest of them were pretty good.

 

Sorry to get so fucking geeky on yo' asses but I remember it being an horrendous pain in the fucking balls with night after night of checking what options there are out there so hopefully this'll save anyone on here having to plough through the same shit I did.

The Internet.

myp2p.eu

 

This is the only link you will ever actually need.

[The Special One]

Google 'liveonlinefooty'.

Yep.

[Torvald Utne]

Just a follow up to NV's post, while it's not illegal, pressure does get put on webhosts and they kick you off without a second thought. rlslog.net is up and down like something that goes up and down a lot.

my mates got a big satellite dish with all the foreign channels , couldn't get the premiership at first but has just purchased a sky italia card and has told us he has got the game on tomorrow, it can be done but not sure how much he paid though

flash stream sports you get the lot for 30 pound a season

[SoMuch4Gravity]

thanks for all the tips, I found youtube to be an invaluable source of user reviews for a lot of these sites. the ones that look the most legit are generally the biggest scams, like Satellite Direct.

^^^^ This, and install sopcast, make sure your firewall is configured right.

The sopcast streams are as good as tv quality (not hd) if you have suffcient tinterweb speed

Looks interesting, if the streams are good quality. Anyone had dealings with this site?

[Torvald Utne]

why pay? you can always find a decent stream for a liverpool game on myp2p.eu

I used myp2p all last season and admittedly only missed a few games. By using sopcast or veetle or one of the flash based websites I could usually find a watchable stream, but quality was a bit hit and miss and less than half the streams I saw could really be described as "decent".

 

I'm interested to know if people have used flash sport streams and how they have found it. If it's better quality than the streams available through myp2p then I'd happily pay £30 for their season ticket. I noticed you can pay £2.99 for a 1 day subscription but I'm not about to use my card on a site without personal recommendations.

Google 'liveonlinefooty'.

 

I've used the liveonlinefooty website since last season and I highly recommend it. I watched the Valencia friendly on my phone last week just using 3G and the picture quality was very good. It's £30 for the season and overall the picture quality is excellent. They don't just show the footy either, they've also shown the boxing, wrestling, cricket, tennis etc as well as running Sky Sports news 24 hrs a day. You can try it for 24 hrs for £3 and you pay using Paypal so you don't give out your card details.

[Scousa Tomo]

I find the streams ok myself, if you are willing to spend an hour before each match doing research and checking feeds etc you can't really go wrong. I also use ORB and stream the match to my 360 so I can watch it on my 50" telly. Sometimes I have to change the feed at half time but last season I would say I watched 70% of the games in hd quality.
