Live Saturday Premiership footie for us Brits!

[Prince_Vegeta]

Whilst scouring a West Ham fan website I came across this interesting thread in their forum. Live Saturday Footie!! (http://www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46822)

Long story short, by downloading a small p2p tv programme you can watch Premiership games live on a saturday!

The thread should tell you all you need to know about watching the games.

Unfortunately, I dont know which channels show which matches, its a lot of trial and error and you will probably need a 1mb or better connection to guarantee a good quality of streaming.

*Man utd v.s Villa is live on ESPN - download the cool streaming programme*.

I'm setting up. If this works, I will give you a £1.

Edit: You my friend are a fucking GOD.

[Prince_Vegeta]

Its been working great for me so far!

From what I gather its best to try and stream the channels a while before the game starts in order to allow the buffering to sort itself out, otherwise you'll get a stuttering match - which happened to me last week with West Ham/ Blackburn.

I streamed it about 10 minutes before the game and I've had a clean connection to the match so far.

I will try to find out which matches are on which channels for the 3:00pm kick-offs and let everyone whos interested know.

[MrDeliquent85]

I setup coolstreaming and loaded ESPN, I'm watching the Man U - Villa game. The quality isnt the best but it setup and is running perfectly.

Cheers again mate.

Edit: Will I get better quality on ESPN on any of the others ?

[Flankered]

does it show all the premiership games live or is just a few?

dunno if you pay for this site but check it out -

http://www.premiershiplive.net/ - you get european football as well

this software better not have any viruses or anything

[MrDeliquent85]

Each program has its pros and cons...
Guandong Sports on ppStream is the best channel for Premiership games, at 540k. TV quality. It will have 5 games this weekend, usually showing the same games as ESPN.
On the other hand, if you are looking for maximum choice, PPlive has the most sports channels, including ESPN which will show 6 games this weekend, Super Soccer which shows a non-standard game (spurs this weekend) and potentially the West Ham game on a Star Sports feed, as well as Goal TV 1 & 2 which show SPL games.
SOPcast is good for 'pirate' broadcasts by would-be broadcasters, which often means there are games you wouldnt find elsewhere
Coolstreaming has very stable channels ie. they very rarely remove or add channels which is good

Thought this may be useful, from that site.

[Quiet_Riot]

do you have to download all of them? some of them have crazy eastern characters that i cant read!

[Prince_Vegeta]

1. does it show all the premiership games live or is just a few?

2.this software better not be dodgy or anything

1. I believe that if you use these programmes in tandem with the livesports website then you will be able to watch any of the 3:00pm kick-offs - didn't work for me last week though so I'll try and iron out the problems and let you know how to do it. Any of the other channels may play a premier league game, but, as I said originally, finding it is a bit of trial and error as theres no information regarding what each channel is broadcasting.

2. I have had no problems with the programmes so far. You have my guarantee that if, indeed, the programme was dodgy then I would not have started this thread - I love you guys too much! :D

EDIT: - MrDeliquent... when I was attempting to watch West Ham v. Blackburn last week the quality of the picture was better than the Utd game. I believe the picture quality of each channel differs and it is not affected by the p2p programme being used.

[Flankered]

p2p networking is what they use for music downloading like kazza and win mx

i wonder how they get the streams :confused:

this is the closest to football streaming i can get,a shitty webcam inside chelsea stamford brige

No you dont. What I did was downloaded and installed coolstreaming. Ran it and then picked the channel I wanted to watch, most of which where in English.

Prince_Vegeta, Are you just using the coolstreaming one ?

[Quiet_Riot]

yeah i've got villa/man u on ESPN via the cool streaming program, i'm just trying to see how i can get city on at 5.15

At the moment I am just using cool streaming. When it gets closer to 3:00pm then I'll check out the other channels and p2p programmes in order to find the West Ham/Newcastle game!

I'll keep you posted.

EDIT: - Quiet_Riot, I reckon the City game will also be on ESPN as they play the games shown on prem plus.

Yeah i thought that.

let's all rip through the channels at around 3 and see if we can get a list of all the games, that way anyone who supports those others teams can watch too.

Good idea.

Early impressions from the West Ham fans forum on the BBC website are that the West Ham/Newcastle Game will be found on the PPLive programme, but, no mention of which channel.

When you click on a channel you need to give it time to buffer before you will get a picture. Just click ESPN and leave it to do its thing.

I'm not sure if the channels have a limit to the number of people watching them. It could well be that the channels viewing capacity is maxed out.

thanks :bow: ..wow espn users has gone up 1300...

and man u have just scored ...van nistorooy or however you spell his name

[Quiet_Riot]

it's weird this, it has ESPN logo in the corner, but it's broadcasting Sky Sport's Commentary.


Djemba Djemba just cleared off the line from Ruud Van,

[Prince_Vegeta]

Right, I think I have it sorted for viewing all the premier league games at 3:00!!

1. Follow this link to register to livesports.com... Livesports Registration (http://www.livesports.co.il/index.php?act=Reg&CODE=00)

2. Click on schedules

3. Links to the games will appear 5 minutes before kick-off

4. Enjoy!

NOTE: - It will be best if you download all 4 programmes mentioned in the link on my very first post in this thread. That way the programme that will be used to show the game will automatically run come game time.

Happy Viewing!

[Quiet_Riot]

whats the bottom box on the registration page?

[Prince_Vegeta]

Ignore the bottom box, you dont have to put anything in it!

[Quiet_Riot]

any way to get the livesports site in english??

[Prince_Vegeta]

Not that I know of! Best bet is to go to the 'English Forum' link.

EDIT: - Just clicked the link to the West Ham/Newcastle game... lets see what happens.

[Quiet_Riot]

i cant even log in, it's too slow

[Flankered]

do you really need to register or can you just click the channels and still get the games?

anybody know what channel Newcastle v West ham is on

[Prince_Vegeta]

i cant even log in, it's too slow

I'm assuming theres a hell of a lot of traffic coming into this site. I'm having the same problem. I may scrap this site and hope to get lucky with the p2p programmes.

EDIT: - SPURS V.S MIDDLESBOROUGH can be found on the Coolstreaming channel underneath toma8

[Quiet_Riot]

w00t! come on city!!! 2-1, decent goal from andy cole.
