Don't plan any serious internet use on Saturday evening...

Rik · Oct 05, 2009, 19:36:32

I hope everyone looks before they buy.

David · Oct 05, 2009, 20:16:06

Thats one less then

mrapoc · Oct 05, 2009, 22:23:09

iv seen just as good quality on justin.tv

which isnt exactly something you pay for...

id expect a much higher quality stream for that price - however most of the uk will probably have streaming problems on low bandwidth option

Well if anyone is interested here's a wee link, I use it all the time for premiership matches, quality not too bad, and I've seen worse. You need internet explorer to view or if you use firefox you can use the IE tabs plugin from the mozilla site.

Rik · Oct 06, 2009, 10:29:20

I can't see a link, Glen?

glen · Oct 06, 2009, 10:32:32

Thats because I'm being stupid. here's the link.

Link removed: Having studied the site, we're not convinced it's legal, sorry.

Rik · Oct 06, 2009, 10:39:16

Thanks.

I personally cannot see it working.

I would have thought it would be cheaper to send it via sky or the tele. But perhaps they want the revenue for the pay per view?
The way things are going, I might end up ditching the TV, the PC and the mobile... back to the stoneage for me if everything is pay per view

If the master of making money from sport, Bernie Ecclestone, couldn't make money from pay TV in 2002 despite investing millions in infrastructure and enhanced camera streams, then it looks like it's not going to be as easy as Kentaro think it will be a few years later, unless they significantly increase the quality of the stream.

On a personal level I wish them every success, because I have no interest in football and am tired of it dominating the printed media and TV. Boxing marginalised itself by selling out to pay TV, so maybe football will follow suit.

Don't expect this to stay around after Sebby sees it. I had a post removed after posting a site like that (way better than that site). The site I posted even won it's court case to stay up.

If these sites are forced to close for providing links then search engines should be shut down too.

Edit: Link removed from quote.

I dislike football so much, looks like its time to do what I do at weekends and enjoy the company of my wife.

David · Oct 07, 2009, 09:29:21

Pass I will settle for Mozart on the piano

I think that's called necrophilia, David, no matter where you have him

David · Oct 07, 2009, 10:00:50

Its preferable to the alternative Gary

There is more life in Mozart anyway

Anything is better than football for me

Rik · Oct 07, 2009, 10:04:46

Right, let me just adjust your line for you...

David · Oct 07, 2009, 10:10:45

Would that be my washing line or my phone line

I think it will be a music lesson....

no it wont Joanne wont be here she is off toher friend for a sleepover

Rik · Oct 07, 2009, 10:23:14

Sounds like a solo performance then, David. Go for some Rachmaninov.

David · Oct 07, 2009, 10:26:32

I have never tried this mans stuff so I expect it will be old Beethoven or Mozart.......Scott Joplin may get an airing

Rik · Oct 07, 2009, 10:32:34

I should think you'd like the Russian composers, David.

David · Oct 07, 2009, 10:35:03

Yes I think I may have a look on Amazon for some sheet music

Rik · Oct 07, 2009, 10:38:56

See if there's any MP3 snippets you can listen to to give you an idea.

David · Oct 07, 2009, 10:46:13

I have a lot of CDs here Rik and I do love some of the music so will have to give them a play.

I can play some of Piano Concerto No 1 but its not an easy piece but one of my favourites I only play the intermediate version but its very dramatic I think I semi gave up on this so its worth going back to I think

Rik · Oct 07, 2009, 10:51:36

It's very soulful music.
