I've been introduced to this bit of software that lets you watch pretty much anything off that is streamed off the internet in one place. It is fucking brilliant. Firstly, you need to get the base media player. It is called XBMC. This part of the process is totally legal as it is just a freeware media player. http://xbmc.org/download/Once you have installed that you need some add-ins. There are literally thousands of video add-ins but the one I use is called Sportsdevil. Download from here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=100031Once you have the zip file, open XBMC go to system -> settings -> add-ins -> install from zip file and then browse to where you saved Sportsdevil. Once you have done this you are ready to go. To open Sportsdevil, got to Video -> add-ins and select it. The amount of options is fucking mind-boggling at first but once you get used to the structure it's relatively easy to use. There is also a movie add-in called Navi-x which I have watched some HD movies on. Remember kids, Google is your friend. Enjoy x |

Cheers Johnny boy.

Got XBMC installed on my main pc along with the Navi-X plugin. Had it a while now but not really bothered with it too much, looks like folk just share folders on their pc.
Will look at installing Sports Devil at some stage

Ooh.
I use SopCast and BloodZeed's channel. Pretty much every PL game on Sky Sports/Setanta/ESPN in HD.

Sky are just playing hardball with NFL, they will get a deal done as they would lose a lot of customers if they don't.
C4 have the rights for the main Sunday night (Monday morning technically) game already

Just got XBMC up and running on my Apple TV.
Anyone got any more recommendations for live sport?
Got Navi-X and Sportsdevil but both appear a bit patchy to say the least.
