There are like tons of sites that let you watch soccer online through the net - if you have a pc. I have a macbook with osx and cant find any that are OS X compatible.

Anyone else watch soccer on their mac? I live in the states so naturally they hardly ever show soccer at all on TV, especially not european.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
 
I do it through Vista on Parallels. Only way that I am aware of unfortunately.
 
Are you talking about Windows Media streams? If so, I've had good success with these streams using Flip4Mac, which permits Quicktime Player to view WMV content.

The only drawback is if the WMV stream is DRM-protected. This plugin can't do anything about that.

Also, just for the record: it looks like ESPN360 and Footy-live.com support Macs.
 
By the next iMac makeover/design changes*, and the new OS (10.6). The world will be on mac I guarantee you. Or in like 4 years. I have made 5+ families switch, and they love it, all are buying second macs now, so, it isnt long... So for sure, you would be able to stream without installing software. But, i do have Flip4Mac, GREAT APP.

I think that if all of the PC's in use in the world were thrown into a Vogon airlock and ejected into deep space, people would still just go out and buy another PC (mostly because they're Particularly Cheap).

We've got a long long way to go before the Macintosh comes even close to threatening the PC market share.

Besides, I've always rather like it here in our little corner.

Keep it secret.... Keep it safe....

I use flip4mac too so that's not an issue. Most of streams use p2p technology that for whatever reason use pc only software
 
yes please?

Yes please, I'm looking to watch some Spanish/Italian/English league games online, since I don't subscribe to cable and watch tv through HD antennae I don't have any access to watching any games.

I run XP on parallels, and wouldn't mind doing it through there, but I don't trust the sites that offer streaming football games...

Is it legitimate to pay for those programs? Any help is most appreciated...

:)
 
www.myp2p.eu has a good selection. The ones I use are the Media Player links (Flash Player video).

I only support that website because I am fuming that none of the Scotland World Cup qualifiers are on terrestrial TV. Absolute joke.
 
Justin.tv is excellent for watching any soccer games. I'm guilty of distracting fellow students in my lectures. Imagine sitting next to someone in your class who is watching a fullscreen stream of the Manchester United game while your teacher does the lecture :p

Hmmm...that explains my grades!
