Tomorrow's game is also broadcasted on the internet.

In order not to make things in a hurry 10 mins before the match, try the following bigmick.

Assumption: You need at least 400Kbit/sec (about 40Kb/sec)  to actually see something.56K modems won't do it.

Assumption: You need to unblock the ports that the app is using. If you are using windows xp, it'll prompt to do so, select unblock.

There are many programs. I suggest PPLIVE, PPSTREAM, and TVKOO (aka viviplay)

1) PPlive is the trickiest, but the best.

a) Download
b) Install
c) Execute.
c.1)A window should appear.
c.2)Now in www.TVmix.net , when you select a game from the right part, you see then a menu that tells you in which programs you can see that game, and below the icon of the program, the channels in which it's broadcasted. If you've reached point c.1), when clicking one of those,

d) an icon should appear in the right bottom corner of your computer. It should be a blue square with an arrow pointing down. If you've reached so far, you're near success.

d.1) Right click the blue square in order to select english language, at least for the options
d.2) Double click the blue square in order to see the stream, if everything goes ok, a number % should be increasing. When reaching near 100% you'll start viewing the game.

If somewhere in this process a blank dialog box appears, that's to say a menu of your hard disk, which you can browse, just select the windows media player executable. It's usually in the "Program files" folder, and within it "Windows media player" folder.

Now go check a game that is broadcasted now, and make a test, if successful, tomorrow you won't have troubles, if unsuccesful, tell me the point in which you're stuck.

Both PPstream and Viviplay are straightforward to use, the channels are in chinese, but you know where the football is because those channels have lots of users. A little zapping and waiting should do it (problem is that they don't get as much channels as pplive)

Thankyou very much Sabre for taking the time to explain that!
If i ever meet ya on me holidays in Spain i'll be sure buy you a Pint!!

Sabre thankyou so much mate but what on earth are you talking about? Like most people whio are good at something and try to educate a complete feckwit, you massively overestimate our knowledge. This is what I did.
I typed in PPlive on google. It found about seven squillion options so I clicked on the top one. It gave me the option of installing it so I went for it. I got the old paper floating through the air from one file to the other and was congratulating myself on my progress, only for it to stop about 1/3 of the way through. A box appeared, telling me that I needed some disk or other, and where did I want to look for the info or somesuch unintelligeable nonsense. I then spent a couple of minutes blindly stumbling around different places until I got the ersehole with the whole thing and decided to forget it. It then wouldn't let me close it down for a couple of minutes. I've got to tell you my computer will never know how close it came to being launched uncerimoniously from my second floor window the fecking piece of crepe. Please please please, can somebody give me a step by step guide without missing out steps. I'll start it off.

Step one. switch on computer.
step two. log on the internet.
step three. Go to the website with this address.................
Step four. The opening screen will look like this ( a brief description)
etc etc.

Sabre I am genuinely so sorry I can't make head nor tail of it but just imagine the person you are helping is about four years old, actually no forget that 'cos the little feckers can do everything, make it 84 years old and you'll be about on my level.

PPS, thanks for the PM earlier mate. I did try and reply but got some technical info telling me I couldn't for reasons unknown.
