Checked the Sky Listings - England/Ukraine game?

[Digger]

Is the match not on gogglevision this evening?

[Gun]

Only available online, for £5!!

[sday12]

Seems that some pubs (and cinemas) are showing it.

[Digger]

Uh-Oh! So which company is raking it in for this new venture? Is this the way its going to go now? Sky et al eventually going to migrate everything online now and reduce their overheads etc whilst upping the subs etc?

You can get it from bet365 if you deposit £10, and you can bet on the game with the cash - thats what I have done, England need to win 3-0 and I get 56 quid, 3-1 is £46, and 2-0 is £26 any other england win for £6.

Live on Italian satellite, which several pubs point a dish at. There's another carrier ?Albania rings a bell? that even has an English commentary.

[Dogwatch]

Apparently most of the national newspaper websites are selling it

[mybrainhurts]

It belonged to Setanta...

Wot is demised and gone to see its maker...

No point watching it as we have qualified.

Exactly. I MIGHT be willing to shell out a tenner for The World Cup final but a match of minor importance such as this?

Cynic in me suggests the powers that be are sussing out the likely typical numbers who are enticed to pay for this online? As a Sky subscriber I aint biting!

try going to one of the many sites that stream all the premier league, international games, F1, etc free of charge - and install something like TVU player/Sopcast etc.

The day I discovered decent quality streaming software/sites was the day I cancelled my cable TV.

[Ry_B]

Sopcast, TVants etc. + Google.

[Puggit]

I'm assuming www.justin.tv will carry it...

twelve quid to watch a bunch of overpaid prima-donnas kick an inflated pigs bladder around for 90 minutes in full on internet blurry-jerk-o-vision.

I dont know who is worse, the shysters behind this venture or the mugs who will pay it!

Would you watch it on free to air TV?

For football fans the idea of not being able to see the national team on TV is a bit galling - first time since 1948, from what I've heard.

[horton]

yeah, really hard to get football live on your PC, free of charge.

[Eric Mc]

What's the web address then?
