If your after football give this site a go it covers most EPL matches

http://www.live-footy.org/

I've watched a few games on this site, the quality of the picture is not excellent but very watchable.

and best of all its free.

It's a scam. All they do is to provide you with links to TVAnts software (which is free, BTW). And here is the proof.

Yes, with TVAnts you can watch many channels (it's a kind of P2P for TV stream) but changing channels is slow (a minute?) and watching TV on PC never been my favourite thing.

Most of these sites are pretty ropey, but just make sure that you don't pay anything. If it's free and crap, then at least all you wasted was your time.

If you find something worth watching, then it's a bonus

These sites rely on loads of people paying just a few quid for something too good to be true.

Yep if only 10 people pay its better than nothing for the people that run it. I did manage to watch one match over christmas (City v Bolton I think) and it was very watchable but not managed it since.

I watched a lot of footy last season via these internet streaming sites. However I found it a pain in the a**e TBH and the quality varied between moderate and crap.

Also the site I was using to find info on the games was getting slowly strangled by the FA, making it more difficult to find stable links to live games

Thats when I decided to stick it up em and get me own satellite kit

It's always nice to have a m8 with a Dreambox and a Slingbox
