Guide to Watching Soccer on your PC

Since it seems like a lot of people don't know about this, there are a variety of peer to peer programs that allow you to watch soccer matches on your PC, in varying degrees of quality, for free.

Basically, all you need is a decent internet connection, the correct peer to peer program, and a schedule of sorts.

You can get all of that stuff at the following website:

http://www.myp2p.eu

They have tons of soccer matches available each day as well as links to various players you may wish to use. I'd go with TVants, Sopcast, and / or TVU player, personally.

 

I just downloaded sopcast and I'm a little overwhelmed. Where can I see what football matches will be playing and how do I access them? i.e. how can I watch the Fulham match tomorrow?

Addendum: When I try to view the schedule, I see lists of channels as opposed to events, and when I click on weekly schedule, I get the schedule for March 12-18 (doesn't help me much) and there's no option to view other weeks.

Please help a Faulknerian idiot man-child (me).

 

On sopcast you need to get all the channels listed in a drop down window and look under sports. Just navigate around for sports.

Games will be on espn, starsports, and all the different chinese channels. myp2p should link directly to the sopcast channel once you have sopcast downloaded.

 

There is no news on myp2p about the Fulham - Boro match. And there isn't much info in the forums either.

 

Check the Myp2p page
You must read it thoroughly

For specifics on a given game check forums there

From what I gather, sometimes a stream doesnt show up until gametime

 

I just checked it out at the link above and it has the game listed, but with a maybe written beside it. I guess we'll have to have our fingers crossed and check back around kickoff today.

 

Portsmouth is winning on Sentanta broadband. Utaka had an awesome deep run goal. Fast bastard.

Bolton digging deep into relegation maybe. Woohoo.

 

Thanks guys. I'm still feeling a bit at sea with this thing, but those links definitely help, 'fog.

Thanks to all. And if the match ends up being available and someone spots it, make sure to give a shout!

 

Well, I would certainly be surprised if this last for very much longer. But I intend on enjoying viewing matches while I can.

 

I downloaded the sopcast stuff on IE and when I go back to the p2p page and click the sopcast link for the game it's saying the channel is offline. Is that a problem everyone has had or did I do something wrong? This is my first time using this so I'm obviously a bit lost.

Thanks for any help!

 

I've tried using TVants and Sopcast a hand full of times, but my buffering seems to be slow at best. I'm curious if my using a wireless router has anything to do with it.

Anyone who has ever used a router knows all about portforwarding and all that jazz. So I guess I'll try using Sopcast with my laptop jacked in straight to the modem.

Including the past weekend's debacle.

 

Sometimes the channels are temporarily offline, i.e., there's no feed at the time.

 

I get my internet from a wireless router as well and Sopcast works fine. Some of the feeds buffer better than others though.
