    Cheers MICKAH. So far so good. But is there any way of telling what language the stream is in, or do i just have to check them all? Thanks again guys. (on Myp2p)

    its a web-based player same as justintv, but in my opinion is very prone to stuttering and streams being taken off line fairly sharpish for games etc, not as good as SOPCAST, none of the web-based are, again, just my opinion of course

    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

    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,
