    old news story but you get the idea. Wonder how long sites like this will last

  • They have been going for years, obviously BBC are going to put a slant on it and talk up the fact they are going to be closed down - they are a TV station themselves remember. The fact is they cant do anything about it as these sites dont rebroadcast bbc/sky content, they are showing sites from Foreign TV channels.

    In the case the BBC is merely reporting the story. It is Sky/Setanta who have the most to lose from these sites not the BBC/ITV

    They did and lost the case. I know this as fact, as my social club stopped the broadcasts until the result of the court case came through.
  • Cheers, just ordered one for my OH Christmas hamper!

  • thats the problem with a free site, there is no attempt to make it user friendly. For me, I would much rather log in with my own username and password and have everything easy to use :)
  • Signed up to the site about an hour ago and none of the links for the matches work. Basically it still requires you to download streaming players just like the free sites do, but has far less links. Not worth signing up at all in my opinion (much better sticking to the free sites). Just my 2 cents, I'll be sure to claim my free t-shirt tho to soften the blow a bit :rolleyes:
