    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?

    Right click the screen, go to options, change buffer time from 1 to 20 and click 'apply'

    on myp2p, instead of clicking on 'play', right click 'play', then click on 'properties' and you'll see it there. Just copy and paste it into your sopcast player and set your buffer time while it loads up. If I can do it, Anyone can :)

    I know, i'm a dumb ass! Sorted now tho MICKAH, thanks. I tried WatchThisFree and got halfway through a film and it just stopped. At the bottom of the screen it said, "click to download newest version of VLC media player to have these issues permanently resolved". So I reluctantly clicked on it and my internet security said "threat detected, clean pc now". And do I need to download xvid codec to watch the whole film? Any ideas anyone?

    Nope, google K Lite Codecs pack, if you run Vista, download the K Lite Codec Vista pack and so on etc for Xp or Win 7, it contains all the codec's you need, including Xvid etc, If you wanna watch a film, just select and press play, after about a couple of mins pause it, this will allow it to buffer, leave it for about 5 mins then press play, this is also dependent on your BBand Speed
