    I have tried it a few months ago and it's around 400MB per match.

    Superchip, I have registered with that site, but I've never been able to watch any games through it! I get error messages for 99% of the links, and if I'm lucky enough not to, the video buffers literally every second so can't watch the game anyway. :confused:

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    What connection do you have, I have 8mb so get good bufferless streaming. It helps to have a decent broadband speed.

    I have 1mb broadband, which I would have thought would be more than fast enough.... but as I said, I get error messages from nearly all the links.

    You have to have the relevant p2p streaming software installed already on your pc before you click the links.

    For example for todays merseyside derby if you click the ESPN link unless you have TVANTS installed on your pc the game will not load.
