Ok I apologise for this rant in advance but this internet streaming business is really winding me up of late. This is how it's gone the last few weeks:
install ppmate, sopcast, ppstream tvants etc etc. Try literally tens of links to Liverpool matches with one of the following results - nothing works in firefox for starters/the link displayed isn't even a working webpage/the link kills Internet Explorer/the link is actually to another match (and of course that one works fine). This is all just before kick off. After kick off you get the same problems as above but now you can't even load the streaming websites to even get to the links. Then the only network that ever seems to work (sopcast) goes down.
Even if I manage to get something working it will work for ten minutes then die. Or freeze. Or kill my PC. Or look like a bunch of time-lapsed photos rather than a video stream. Or it shows some obscure cycling race or even more bizarrely some asian soap opera.
I'm sure it's all a conspiracy and all the software you have to install for all this is dodgy malware too.
Argggg. Rant over. Maybe I should stick to the good old radio..
