all the streams are out there for free if you look properly.
All i do is visit a well known site all football fans should be VERY familiar with,on the said site every single link for the game available will be on there.
I have VLC Media player ,TS player,Sopcast Player,Veetle Player installed on my laptop.
I stick my laptop on top off my Sky + box,take the HDMI lead out the Sky + box and stick it in the laptop, i take the Ethernet cable out of the Sky + box and stick it in the laptop,i prefer the Ethernet connection when watching streams instead of wireless,only to prevent buffering,i could use the wireless if i wanted,but i always choose the highest KBS feed it gives the best picture on the television.
Then i watch 3 O clock football on my 52 inch plasma for free.
Very rarely like CCCup i struggle for a link,but other than that i never have a problem and it costs nothing.
The only advice i would give is set it up 5 minutes before kick off you might encounter buffering with demand.And my laptop is is a HP G6 with Hdmi port.
