Its been a while since ive been on the scene asking about this, to be fair I havent done much reading so sorry for the blunt thread. Last time I got free sports was through my freeview box and cable line, they blocked that with the upgrades and since ive never bothered. Now the football season is starting up and F1 has switched to sky im in a bit of a dilemma, I want to watch them but refuse to pay the monthly bills.
Is there another way of getting free sports, movies etc?
Thanks

I'm hoping to watch the F1 online, on Myp2p or something.
I'll be checking on here for any tips before the new season starts.
As for movies etc, there's another thread somewhere for watching online. (forums/all other topics/online tv)
Good luck

I just plug the tv into the pc with a standard vga lead.
It has to be a decent stream though, like over 500mbps.

yea if the stream is pretty stable and good quality hook your lappy up to your tv ,my lappy has a hdmi output which makes it even easier .sopcast is another good option for streams as the streams using sopcast are more often than not very good quality .

Yeah there's a good tut on here by MICKAH about 'SOPCAST- Watching games on tv'.
I dont always find a link for the game I want though.
I tried Veetle and that's been good so far.
Here's to anything free! :)

Slighty better according to who/what?
The S10 has no scart connections on it at all so I don't know how you would link this up with other av items or be able to transmit it around the house. Therefore, I think the S9 is the better option.

Have to say I wouldnt pay for access to a stream which is free everywhere, the majority of streams are from the same source, just put into different formats, such as Veetle, SOPCAST etc, Just that some are more reliable, SOPCAST in this case
The reason folks stream is to provide those who dont have access to a service, free of charge, when they start to charge, you may as well pay a sub or pay for the service, as a stream is never the same quailty as TV broadcast, but now your being charged for it, sites like the above shouldnt be encouraged, cause it just starts the others doing the same, just my opinion of course, but if one gets paid for it, the others will to

Yeah I get what you're saying Mickah.
The problem with Sopcast is that unless you're a MUFC or LFC fan, there wont be a decent link for most games.
I recorded the Everton vs Wolves game last weekend on Sopcast. The stream was poor and then it went off halfway through! Not great!!
Also sometimes you look fwd to a game and then there's no link! Or you cant find a link half an hour b4 the game so you go out, then you find out later that the link appeared 2 minutes b4 kick-off!
Having said all that, when it does work well, it's brilliant!

thats the prob, you can only stream whats on TV, so if the game your after aint on, it aint on, your not gonna get much better on paystream sites, as i say, the majority are all the same streams,
wiziwig is now fully working (formally myp2p) http://www.wiziwig.tv/index.php?part=sports

What I meant was that I got links for some games that were non-Sopcast.
So the game was televised but there was no Sopcast link.
A few weeks ago, there were 10 different Sopcasts links for LFC.
EFC had none!!! But i'm not bitter....!
Eh Mickah, is wiziwig better than fsi or do they just use the exact same links?
Cheers, 2dogs

you can bet the are, just taking a stream and redoing it, you will get links on wiziwig if there is one going, prob not on SOCPAST, but you will get to see the game, the top streamers will do the big games, such as Bloodzeed, ALV on SOPCAST, YES also cover a lot of games, but yeah your right, its mainly the big games, but you will get a stream none the less on Wiziwig for your games and it will be free, which is always the good thing
