Here is a quick one for instructions on watching games on the internet. I will expand this later to put in more information, tips and links as I familiarize myself again with the different softwares.

Lets start with some of the softwares which we can use to watch the matches. There is no need to create a account for most of these softwares as you can login as guest or annonymous to watch several channels including sports.

1) SOPCAST
You can download it here. Simply install it, login as anonynomous and you get a host of channels to choose from. Simply choose the one you want and wait for it to buffer.

2) TVAnts
You can download it here. Install it but you may not find a lot of sports channels in the software itself. You will find streams which require the software to view them on various websites. There is no login required for this software.

3) TVU PLayer
Download it here. Refer to the User Manual for more help on how to use it.

Most softwares are similar in function and only the interface changes. I will add more players and more details in the future.

Below are a few websites where you can find streams for watching games.
Myp2p , ChannelSurfing , LiveFooty , RojaDirecta , GoalTube

Some of the links you will find will require external softwares like the ones mentioned above to view them. Clicking on the link will automatically open the external software on your computer or request you to download the software. There are quite a few links which use Windows Media Player so you may be able to watch games without downloading any sftware if you find the correct links.

While at times some links can be viewed in the browser itself using software plugins and may prompt you to download plugins to watch without any external. The plugins nay be browser specific so please take care of the version you may be downloading. Some of the plugins used are

Flash Shockwave Player
Sopcast WebPlayer

You will ofcourse need a broadband connection to view these matches. A stable 256 connection should be good enough to find streams for most matches. Sometimes if you are lucky you will find streams which you can view on as low as a 64kbps connection, but those are very rare.

Thats it for now. Start searching those streams now!
