..no shit.

Not really interesting unless you like football but i know a few of you do, have internet connections and are running OS X so...

I knew this shit existed for a while but always thought it was a PC only thing and therefore not relevant to me, however i've now found a way to implement this on OS X.

So now its highly relevant.

Its great stuff, went round the man like Purest Bolus on Saturday and watched Dynasty TV, a chinese channel that rather splendidly shows Premiership football over the internet..we watched a fairly decent delayed stream ('bout 2 minutes) of Man Utd Vs Spurs through RealPlayer (OK, not the best player in the world but hey...) on the tele.

Next week is the big one, Spurs Vs Scum...not being shown on any legit channels here in the UK but i'm gonna get it all hooked up ready for the 1pm kick off come saturday.

"What do i need tec?"

a Few things....

Thats the PeerCast client, very needed. D/L and install.

Update all media players such as RealPlayer and Windoze Media Player, streams are dependant upon certain apps running as the viewing client, depends which is what for what match (if that makes sense)

Then go to this site and find the stream you want for whatever match.

An example of what you will see come matchday will be this.

Happy days.

PC user's will need stuff, mainly a Peer Cast application from one of these places..

www.pplive.com

www.sopcast.org

Hope that helps some of you out on these cold, grey, and sometimes skint saturday afternoons.

Update all your Players, Real, Windoze, whatever....should be sweet then.

Remember this shit works for any league, international or otherwise and its not just saturday, midweek games get a look in too!

Best thing on the net ever untill something else comes along i s'pose.

Girlfriend will not be pleased over thse findings..
