[...] how to view the football worldcup online (via). o.k., auf den ersten blick relativ sinnfrei, weil im deutschen free-tv eh mehr spiele übertragen werden als bei der tante (ganz zu schweigen davon, dass der orf alle spiele live hat). aber wer weiss, wofür man solches wissen mal brauchen kann. [...]

A priceless photo!!!!

i’ve been trying to get this procy thing to work and i’ve found some decent proxies but I fear the bbc may be on to this? has anyone found one that actually lets them watch?

if so please post that or drop me a line th3boon at yahoo dot com

It did not work for me as well.Good luck!

Someone needs to set up a pirate server so we can listen to the BBC broadcasts. There are no online options to listen to the games. XM Radio Online is not carrying their WC station on their online version of their service.

I was one of the people who forwarded this on – I had heard that the BBC was on to this and I know they are relatively sophisticated over there so it may not work – of course, all the UK proxies I ahve found today are overloaded and mostly failing – wonder why?…

the other thing to try is do a search on livefooty – they are doing some streams out of china – but you have to use IE and trust plugins that are all in CHinese not to be trojaning you up – they aren’t working real well for me today but they have in the past – plus you get the game with chinese commentary….

The BBC have definitely taken the proxy idea into consideration, and it definitely won’t work (I know, I’ve tried using 2 UK proxies).

They’ve probably got a list of UK broadband service ip addresses, and if you’re not using a UK internet provider you’ve got no hope of beating this, except for one way.

You’d have to know someone in the UK who’d be willing to let you remote control their PC, i.e. view the video from their computer using something like gotomypc or whatever.

This works (I know I’ve successfully done this via my little brother’s PC back home in the UK), but there is one final option if you don’t mind viewing the games about an hour after they’ve finished.

As most of you seem to be posting from the US, given the 4-10 hour (depending on your time zone) time difference, you may be okay with watching highlights directly from the FIFA website.

Obviously you can watch them on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNHD but for those of us that have real Irish relatives, listening to that Leprechaun impersonator on ESPN is somewhat galling.

What is it with second and third generation Irish Americans insisting on using blatently fake Irish accents.

My family came over during the last world cup and just about died laughing after I started the England / Nigeria game – hey at least it gave the game some entertainment value, as opposed to the dour 0:0.

does anyone know where i can at least listen to live commentary ?? I can live with that.

my dad iz looking for a place to watch it online…badly -_-b

No luck here either.

I live in Boston in the States and I’ve never heard of any second or third gen Irish speaking with fake accents. Actually many of my Irish friends who were born in Ireland have lost their accents. Its hard for me to imagine that someone on TV is actually faking it. Doesn’t make any sense.

most may have found it by now but The Sun is broadcasting audio of all the games online and no need for the proxie dance

Try TVUplayer!! It shows games on ESPN2 and Univision! It works for me although quality is not often that good!

Yeah…I cant find ANYwhere online that is streaming live radio of Fifa 06. I am spun out by this .. thought we could all listen to football on line no problem..but no.

Anyway..go to TVants and download the software, and then find CCTV5 (from China) click the link..you can watch live world cup there..It works!! For PC only though..Sorry Mac people. If anyone knows where I can hear ENGLISH radio of the cup..let me know.
Good luck people!
It takes some time to connect..so hang in there..this isnt as convenient as normal TV but I find it is pretty stable.

Travis from Australia..but living in Taiwan!

England is playing at 12pm EST and still can’t find anyway to watch online at work…HELP!

Went to the Sun and used their link to listen to the audio commentary

Downloaded tvants software. Clicked on CCTV5 link. Black window pops up to say wait a few minutes. Zilch… until now since 9 June. Anyone can offer some help on why this is happening. Thanks.
