How to Watch the African Cup of Nations in the USA and Canada

Daryl, thanks so much for this. I’m hoping the on demand thing is a reality because I will be at work for most of the games and will want to see them in the evenings. Still haven’t checked on this radio station’s website that worked for me in 2006. They had packages where you could pay a fee basically subscribe to your team (or the entire tournament) and then the link was active during the game and available after it as well. I hope this is the case for telesud.us

I’m struggling to contain my excitement these days. It’s so soon!

Although..I’ll be in Ghana (Yeeeeaaaaaah!) to observe with my own eyes; (Please see my blog http://www.rabsworld.com)
I do watch 3A TeleSud on satellite DishNetwork channel 751 in New York. I must note that I have not seen any advert for the ‘TELEVISION’ broadcast during the tourney.
Internet..yes..there will be a stream but watching on a glorious 46 inch plasma may NOT be an option for North America. Can anyone in NA go along with what I am saying?

Enjoy Rab! Will be checking in on your blog throughout the tournament.

I just don’t know how to go about it .
I’m going to miss the whole tournament.
Really too bad for me.

I have satellite, so no worries for me.

Isn’t it a shame that stations like Fox soccer and Setanta will not broadcast these matches. Apparently their marketting departments don’t realise the huge population of Africans living in North America and how passionate they are about soccer….or they still think with their butts that nothing good can come out of the continent !

So they games would not be available on 3ATelesud TV channel? But on Telesud online? You got to be kidding me!!!

Livefooty promises to show the matches live and its always free there. You should check it out. http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/

Good news, registration is open for telesud. Bad news is I can’t get past a certain part of the configuration to make sure it will work on my system. The first part says I have all the capabilities to access the system but then a video it says should play does not play. Anyone else encounter this?

By the way, it looks like it is$29.99 USD for the entire group phase. I guess we will have to pay more for the knockout stage.

Hi AJ,

where is it showing on the satellite? Dishnet or Bev?

Been throught the registration process a few times now. There must be something wrong with the servers or something.

I try to login and it gives me a invalid email address error. Has any body else had this problem?

If you can’t get the video to play I suggest you shut down any fire wall and virus protection you have and then try. Still there is no way to get past the registration process…something isn’t right.

I watched the last edition on telesud and the quality was excellent.For about 3 weeks after the competitions the games were still available on demand. A password will be issued to those who pay the fee so they can access the site.Long Live Cameroon!

its not working

telesud is not working you cannot subscribe to begin with, I hope the’ll fix it before the cup begins

what about art america ?

i thought TV5 monde usually carry the games but i think its from the quarter finals on

Telesud will not definitely show the games… I know, this sucks but you can watch the Cup on ART (Arabic Channel #178) if you have Time Warner Cable

It looks like JumpTV will also show the Cup. Anyone give that one a try?

you have to get ART America to watch the games in 55 plasma tv

mr alaoui are u sure that art america on dishnetwork will show the cup plz answear as soon as possible

Yes I have ART TV on Dish Network In North America and they will show it for sure. How do I know that?….well

1- I have been customer since 2000 (and they showed every last African nation cups games LIVE

2- I have seen the commercial on their TV (ARt 1 channel) for it.

3- It’s listed on their website.

http://www.artonline.tv/sports/ChampionLeagues.aspx?ChampionID=28

^^^^^ that’s their official website. It sucks to be in north america cuz they actually will make you pay to watch soocer. It doesn’t get any worst than that. Anyway, I am having a party at my house and already my African,Asian and american brothers are coming to my house since they don;t have that arabic channel and the big screen. We will be watching all the games and specially the Ivory Coast VS. Nigeria ………..ooooweeeeeeee

What state do you live in Jamal?…maybe I can come down for some games :)

Hi Jamal, I have Cox cable…I think I have ART as a channel…Is it the same one you were talking about? The dish network one?

Your answer will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aziz

Dont worry guys
for a small fee we all can watch it online at
http://www.can2008live.info

The games will be broadcasted on African Path too. You can get the link to the games here

http://tv.africanpath.com/TVPlayerPage.cfm

http://tv.africanpath.com

Brad, I live in 0HIO

AZIZ, I just spoke with Dish Network customer service (arabic version) number 800 984 3388 , and she confirm it to me that the ART AMERICA will be showing most of the games but not all the games………which is sucks but still it’s cool.

ABout your question if it’s the same channel, I’ve no idea. check with them and ask them what kind of ART they have. is it the ART MOVIES , ART MUSIC, ART SPORTS OR IS IT ART AMERICA.

ART AMERICA in 2006 did show 90% of the games. They showed the best games. Mostly the early two games and cancel the 3rd game. It’s all depends.

ART SPORTS does show all the games but both DISH Network and Direct TV don’t have it.

I will just have to wait till Friday night to know what games will be showing on ART ANERICA channel through the Dish Network TV GUIDE.

So far here is the info I got from the arabic spoken lady.

“Art America-Arabic : “Will carry most of the game on time and LIVE”. I’ve checked their website but There is no TV GUIDE. SUcks

Dubai Sports-Arabic : “Will carry some of the games on time and LIVE (Like 3 games a week)”. It’s mostly when their arabic teams are playing against anybody. That’s what she told me but I just checked their website TV GUIDE and it’s only showing some talk shows around the time of the games…….like a highlight of the games. That’s all. No live and no crap. So don’t subscribe to it unless you are for sure. If you have a high speed internet you can watch that channel online for free. Just register JumpTV
Just don’t count on them since they suck at showing african football.

After doing a lot of research I found this african channel online that will show all the games for free through JumpTV. It’s called KBC Channel 1 from Kenya. Just register and watch the LIVE games. I will keep an eye on it now and them. When you go there, you will see a tittle ad that reads as ” Tune into KBC and watch the Africa Cup of Nations matches. Don’t miss the best games……”

Some of the channel I will keep an eye on is the Nigerian channels or should I say the african channels through JumpTV. As their team are playing. Check for every african free channels. Check their TV GUIDE as they will tell you what program is going to be in next. I will come here often and keep you guys updated. Sorry about grammar error,misspellings…….ENGLISH IS MY 4th LANGUAGE ;)

Any update on the internet streaming through Telesud? I too can’t seem to get registered so as to order the matches. It’s a real glitch. Also same problem on African Path as both African Path and Telesud seem to be using the same provider (Sportfive) for the feed.

I’m starting to think that I won’t be able to watch afterall.

Good info Jamal, thanks for posting all that. Seems like some good options. At least I hope…

any chancee in watchin it on time warner??/

Joshua (who posted recently about African Path broadcasting the games on their site) solved my technical problems with registering/signing up for the matches.

He said that the problem was with my cookie setting. I needed to go into my cookie setting and choose the low setting. This seems to have solved my problem and I believe it will solve the problems addressed earlier by other people.

Many thanks to Joshua. (See below for a link to his explanation.) And many thanks to him and African Path for showing the matches.

http://village.africanpath.com/group/nationscupfantasysoccer/forum/topic/show?id=1555598%3ATopic%3A15630

Its a shame that FOX Sports and Setanta will not be televising the Africa Cup of Nations. I pay almost $20.00 a month for these two channels on top of my regular cable and what these cable companies dont realise is that a large number of Africans live in North America and support their companies with these charges.

Payment problems on the African Path TV site?
Dude from Ghana helping out with this paste…and by the way, the place called Africa is not Africa, the name God likes to call her, is, ZION

Ok read on…(courtesy Joshua)
I have received a number of questions about the payment process for the games.

Payment processing:
We currently don’t accept Paypal. For those without credit cards, we accept bank cards but that is as far as we go. Sorry.

Sign up problems:
I have received inquiries that some people are unable to go through and complete payments. This happens due to your cookie settings. At the top menu, you will see the link “Configuration test”.

Click on it and it will run you through a configuration test. Chances are, if your cookies are flagged, they are then set too high to allow you to process the transaction or watch the games. Please open your Internet Options under your Tools on your browser and go to the Privacy tab.

Under Settings, move the slider to a Low cookie setting to allow first party cookies that save information to work. These cookies are what you need to watch the game. Save and go back to the configuration page. If you cookies pass the test, then advance to the registration and pay for the package you are interested with.

I made that change to the cookies but the problem I’m having is not with the payment but with the configuration test. On the configuration test page, the one that says 1/ You should see the following image: (then has a picture of the Test: 450 kbits/s) then right below that is says : 2/ You should see the following video clip:, then there is a video clip that never plays for me. But when I go to the next page it show me that all my systems check it out and it tells me this message: “Your software configuration allows you to view the content delivered by our service.”

I’m getting mixed messages. Anyone else have this problem? Shouldn’t I see that test video? So, I can’t see that video i’m supposed to see during the test but it still tells me my system is adequate for viewing their service…what is up? I don’t want to pay for it if I can’t be sure it will work for me.

The video worked for me (it took about ten seconds to start). I’m assuming that afterwards you clicked on the spot that said the video DIDN’T work for me as opposed to the other one?

You might want to try to contact Joshua from the African Path. He helped me on my issue.

Good luck!

Updates, ART (NORTH AMERICA) WILL SHOW THE OPENING GAME AND THE CEREMONY. I have checked the Dish TV GUIDE right now and it’s officially confirmed.

The reason online is risky specially if you are paying for is the connection. It can slow down at the best moment.

Rahim B, bro I agree with you. Did you know they show the asian cup but they won’t ever show african cup. Or at least make a show for it like the asian league type talk show they have. It’s crazy. Disgrace. They even show some underground leagues with players that are just chasing balls with no skills at all.

is really aggravating.

a message to the internet entrenpreneurs out there: don’t make me ride my bike to Ghana right now.

ART America will only broadcast live the games involving Arabic speaking countries. Does anyone if Dubai Sports will be showing the tournament at all?

It looks like we will have to wait for the last minute to find out whether any of these sites will broadcast anything live. The way I look at it, unless your name is Jesus, no one can see a live event if it is no in progress. So I suggest we all try when the game starts; whoever gets a positive response can post a message right away. By the way,I am from Cote d’Ivoire and we wil be kicking ass. That’s whatwe do: kick ass! So watch out! Peace ad Love

I’m having the opposite problem of Brad. I can see the test videos but the config test says my media player test fails. What the heck?!?!

DOes anyone knwo whether any comcast channles would be showinbg the african nations cup?

well i dont i know if this is good but oh well im just going to be nice for once in my life. its really easy to watch it online for free. if you are really interested email me with the subject african cup and i promise you would get the link for free. thats if you have internet. well if u can read this then it means you do so try it if you want.
i just dont want to post the link cuz the site might get crowded. later. oh its biggiescro@yaho.com

thank u

Hi everybody,
Dish networks just confirm it to me, the Arabic channel ART America will be broadcasting the African Cup of Nations in Ghana 2008.
They will show all the games. The basic arabic package cost only $25.99 per month.
I hope that help those like me in the USA who were wondering where to watch all African games!
Take care!

The Last African Cup of Nations Was Broadcast free on the http://www.VibeGhana.com I Hope They Will Show It Agaian For Free

UBC & KBC likely not to broadcast ANC

The broadcasting rights of the African Nations Cup have been priced out of the common man’s reach and, barring a miracle of earth-shattering proportions, UBC will not broadcast the matches…

http://allafrica.com/stories/200801140692.html

All champion will br broadcast for free on EURO Sport(Hot Bird,ASTRA)

the clock is ticking.

has anyone found a way to watch Black Stars this morning????

I don’t see it on vibeghana

Yea not showing up on KBC programming either

NO! there is no game on TV.

ART, the Arab Network is showing children’s series instead.

I cannot believe no one cares enough to show millions of African the African Cup of Nations here in North America.

Guys,

Seneweb.com with RTS (Senegalese TV) will show some games live. I am not sure how many but it is worth checking it out. It’s free. However I am not quit sure about the qualift but it is better than nothing. The web page and commentary will be in french

Here is the link
http://www.seneweb.com
click at Regarder LA RTS Live or RTS1 on the middle right hand side of the Screen
Good luck

heard of telesud.us but you pay $5 per game. can’t vouch for it but the name has come up a few times. also, you can buy a box where you watch all ghanaian tv channels among other channels at vidvo.tv

Guys Check Seneweb.com they will show the game. it is free.
Today’s game starts at noon EST.

TV5 Monde will show the quarter finals semi and finals live on dishnetwork. subscribe to the channel on dishnetwork for 9.99/month 3a telesud will show it online for $29.99 for the group stages and $14.99 for the final stages.

Guys,

There is hope. ART, the Arab Network showed the opening ceremony in English. I watched it and I believe they’ll show the Ghana v. Guinea game at 12 Est.

ART is on Dishnetwork, you have to order the arabic package at $25.99 month. You can always cancel after the ACN. There is nothing compare to watching a soccer game in your couch in front of a TV screen. So ART is probably the best bet for those you have dishnetwork.

Go Indomitable Lions, Go Cameroon, Go Samuel Eto’o!

For those of you who don’t have dish network. Try soapcast channel 13697 (ART) and free it is. http://www.myp2p.eu. try it you’ll be surprised

NO AT JumpTV, look for NTA International

Register 1st and then log in. It’s on the top right side

Once you have registered with jumptv find the NigerianTelevisionAuthority channel

There, the video will load for you and watch the live games and replay games for free.

Goodluck.

The opening was really good and the 1st match was just an outstanding game to watch. ART TV arabic did show everything and I was happy :). Can’t wait for the games tomorrow.

Jamal..which ART channel did u watch it on? ART america?

YEs, was on Art America, however I am interested in knowing about whICH TV CHANNEL will be showing the rest of the tournament . Art does not have anymore matches programmed.

goog luck for morocco

moroco

okkk umm i went to http://www.jumptv.com and went to NTA but then it is showing only a preview. I also set up an account with them too.

Will the sites listed be showing all the games? Does anyone have any other links to free online streaming for the Africa cup?

Telesud sucks, they have increased the price to watch all African Cup of Nations games.
It was 29.99 last time, now it’s 44.98.
So please read it before you pay because they are real thieves, they’ll take your 29.99 but the small print shows that it’s only for the first phase, so they’ll ask you for another 14.99 to watch the rest.

manos , yes it’s on ART America.

Nigeria_can11, you have to register first and then you can watch them all for free. If you don’t register and log in with your user name, you will watch just some previews. Good luck

Anna, why pay them if you can watch it for free. Follow the steps I’ve listed.

tdzonline, ART TV will show all the games. Don’t follow their TV GUide. It’s not programmed very well. If you had ART TV before, you would known that their TV GUIDE does suck. They will show all of them three games tomorrow. I spoke with their REP customer service and he confirmed it to me a while ago earlier. I can’t miss Nigeria VS. Ivory………..It’s a party time and there is no way I am gonna miss that.

Jamal…what time did you watch it on ART because I tuned in at 12pm central time and it wasn’t on..? Better yet, What time do the games start tomorrow?
Thnx

Ok I turned my TV on at 10:50 A.m. The event started at 11 a.m eastern time. The game started at 12 pm eastern time and it was over by 2 pm.

hey it tried the seneweb.com site is in french and what is the link to ART america?

I tuned in to ART America all day today starting at 9:30 AM EST and did not show the opening game or any sport event today for that matter. The game was scheduled to start at noon EST (5 PM GMT), but ART America did not show it. I’m really disappointed as they’ve always showed the games in prior years. I recall that in 2004 they showed mainly the games that involved Arab teams. Maybe this is what they’re doing this year. I’ll tune in again tomorrow at 10 AM EST and hopefully they’ll show the Morocco vs Namibia game. Otherwise I’ll try to links mentioned in this forum.

I appreciate all of the info and help from you guys but keep in mind that ART on regular cable (with the box) is different from ART on satellite( on the dish like dishnetwork). I live in the MD/DC area and have watched the 2004 and 2006 editions on cable ART but last year they only started showing it a week after the tournament started. I hope this is a glitch like last year and they start showing it soon, but today they didnt show it.
Please specify Jamal and others which ART you have
again thanks a lot guys

can2008live.info
all free

I have ART TV on dish Network not cable. I hate cable. rip off. Dish is better. Below you will see the snap pictures I took this morning to send it to this fool who thought we were lying when we told him we got the game LIVE on the big screen since he is from Guinea. 10 minutes later, he came running to our crib with all his family and friends. It was fun.

http://aycu21.webshots.com/image/40180/2001006706439771728_rs.jpg

Guinea killed themselves but I was hoping for them to win. But that penalty was costly as it ruined the game for them. It wasn’t even a penalty.

Next is Nigeria, hopefully them young players will show their skills.

thanks jamal. I hope that cable ART will start showing it because now i have no chance of getting a satelite hooked up haha. It really bugs me that there are so many dfferent art’s????? cant there just be one art america?
