UPDATED Watch British TV on your comp (inc. Eurosport)

Post by JohnD »

Hey folks

Thought i'd share this little program with you all...

http://www.myp2pforum.eu/live-tv/41045-british-tv.html

It's nothing to do with me, but it works extremely well!

It's very useful for watching MotoGP, BSB etc on Eurosport2 (if you don't have a satelite/cable tv like me!)

cheers
John

VLC Player is good
So used to using it in Linux :P

And that is the correct link for it:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

I can confirm the app works on Mac OSX, Windows XP64, Linux 32bit and 64bit :P (Ubuntu)

Dont ask why I have so many computers or operating systems :P :oops:

Now updated... you can now watch 44 channels (inc. both Eurosport channels!) !!!

But you need to download the latest version from the link in the original post, cos the old version doesn't work anymore.

...i'm watching BSB from Croft now ;-)
