sky one tonight - problem?

[alanarchibald]

Hello.. I was watching sky one, the arsenal game. Watched the first half, and then it stopped. All other channels work, but when I click on either of the sky one links, it just says "connecting" and then ready, but nothing is played... whats happening? is the sky one stream not up or something? cheers

I managed to get the last 10 mins...it was a pretty boring 0-0 anyway, but it was enough! Thanks for the great site! This is the first time I have used it. Any chances you could have the sky sports channels? (I don't know if thats possible... i dont know how you get the streams for here...)

[Admin]

you better use p2p channels during football, as those direct links can't handle many users (as you experienced today), there was a sky link today btw...

[alanarchibald]

ok, can you explain to me how I use p2p channels? I am confused...I thought that was what I was doing...

[Admin]

for p2p you need this software;

on the Live Sports page you find links to several p2p programs/channels

on the LiveTV page you find live direct tv

i'm not 100% sure, but i don't think the firewall on my college network will allow me to connect to it using extra software (i'm sure i tried it before)... thats why i liked the streaming, as i was surprised it worked. would i still be able to connect to the p2p software??

Will this p2p still work for me even when i am on a university network with a firewall?

As long as they don't specifically block the port, (and i fully expect they will after a few weeks of battering their bandwidth), it should work. If they do, you can always setup a proxy.
