way2goeh Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Its that time again to ask everyone if anyone knows if theres a station carrying the game. Im assuming it will be a jamaican station, but I will get home minutes after the start and I dont want to be searching for it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YukonMike Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Sportsnet is streaming the game, i dunno if you want video though... Speaking of which, what's the reputation for sportsnets streaming does it work well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlander Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I would also like to know that before I get up in the middle of the night to try to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 agreed - great if someone could comment on the sportsnet site - how good is it? I'll be dialling in from southern Africa. Also in middle of night...if I can manage to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be dialling in from southern Africa. Also in middle of night...if I can manage to sleep. I would suspect the feed will be quite good, although I have never watched a live streaming event on their site. I'm not positive, but this is the first live event I've heard of being live streamed by Sportsnet on their site. That said, they are owned by Rogers, one of the biggest communications companies in Canada, so they the technical knowledge and resources to do it well. I've had some problems with their canned stream using Firefox, but in Internet Explorer they work well. High quality and no buffering. Hope that helps.

MBZitch Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 For all you guys abroad, remember that it's possible that the Sportsnet stream will might not allow non-Canadian IP's to view the game. This usually happens with CBC or TSN online streams. So you might have to get an IP anonymizer. Otherwise I suggest you try one of the betting sites. For instance Betfair.com is scheduled to have the game. I just checked and it was fast to register (about a minute and I recommend using fake information) and am now watching the Russia-Holland friendly. Its high quality stream with English commentary. Might be a good alternative for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaucho Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Does anyone have a direct link to the online stream? I am having trouble finding it. Thanks in advance! Go Canada! Go Rob Friend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
