PL Football on Sopcast

[gingerjedi]

Anyone using this? I have sky sports but I refuse to pay another subscription to watch matches on Setanta so this is quite a good alternative plus you can watch any Saturday PL match at 3PM, the PQ is pretty crap but most have English commentary and its better than nothing.

Also there’s an Italian site called rojadirecta or something that lists the PL games with handy links that opens up sopcast and selects the correct channel which saves you from sifting through 50 Chinese channels to find the one you want.

Its a 2meg app that lets you watch Football via t'internet.

Ah, thanks. I'm not up to date with all these clever interweb things.

Is it shareware? How do you get it and use it?

[gingerjedi]

http://www.sopcast.org/ it’s free and because it’s P2P the more people that watch the better the PQ, it runs at about 4 minutes behind live to allow for buffering.

Use this http://www.rojadirecta.org/ to select the channels, they often only get listed a few hours before but most will be there.

Can I get MK Dons on it?

ooo... It's not just boring pointless football - there's movies and documentaries and all sorts on there... Will be checking that out tonight and hoping it works on a mac - which it probably won't.

You've got a mac, and you've got the front to say football is boring and pointless!

Yep - because I'm one of those rare people who combines mac ownership with having a life - amazing but true.
