Cheers mate. I'll swerve that. Btw, I watched the footy via Sopcast and it was spot on! No hiccups at all.

Eh MICKAH, is sopcast just for myp2p sports or are there any other websites for it? And is there anywhere you can watch films/tv programs online for free? I tried 'watch.this.free' but got loads of pop-ups so turned it off.

a wee tip for ya, use Mozilla firefox as your browser, google ABP for firefox, download this add on, you then activate the list of ban lists in ABP,click the ABP icon on the toolbar, then options, the preferances, you can load a list of different Blocklists you see there, once done this will stop all popup, adverts, after a while ya wont know ure using it!! I use watchthisfree all the time and dont get one advert once I installed ABP in Firefox, dont use explorer anymore

Ok, as promised, SOPCAST links for games, in English, 800 kbps and over, you can use the above to connect your laptop to the TV

Copy the below and past into the SOPCAST address bar



The below always work and show the top ganmes, usually one after another, some are 800kbps and some are 960kbps, the below are showing the Utd v Arsenal game today and more"!

Cheers MICKAH. The monitor cable you mentioned in your tut, do i just plug it in to the tv and unplug my monitor(from pc) and plug the other end of the monitor cable in to my pc? Does that make sense....

The cable ya need is a bog standard VGA cable, the cable that connects your monitor to your PC, plug that onto your lappy and the other end in the back of the TV, thats is your TV is a LCD/LED/ Flat Panel, there is a port on the back of the TV, once in, follow the tut and you should be good to go.

The links I gave above, they show the soccer each week, they are the best on Sopcast,

Tried it hooked up to the tv today with some random footy match. 500mbps stream on my 42" lcd tv and the quality was fine. Nice one to MICKAH for that! There were other streams, some 300 and some over 1000. If you only run a box for the footy, i'd defo check this out.

now if you have a home cinema system connected to yer TV, you can connect the laptop to this via an 3.5m male to male audio cable (about a quid) and you can get surround sound also

Alright MICKAH. I was 10 minutes late for the Barcelona vs Real Madrid on myp2p and I couldn't get it for a while. Any tips on how to get it, I got it with foreign commentary in the end. Is it just 'cos there's loads watching it?
