I'm not sure if I would use it though.

However if it's a reliable service as you make it sound, I'd probably give it a chance. If this goes ahead, thanks in advance :).

Edit:I just thought to ask, why would you bother going to all the trouble? Just curious.

It'd be reliable, I'd make sure of it. I don't know, it gives me something else to do on Saturdays when Wolves play away from home, + I like a challenge. I'm also looking to get a job doing something I.T-ish, so any experience I can get only helps. I'd only be doing it for like a few hours during the weekend, so it's not really much time nor effort really.

It'll start off very basic hopefully (if it actually happens) - and then I'd look to enhance it. It'll help me out quite a lot, good experience if I go to Uni on managing a website, developing and designing etc.

That's why. ;)

It sounds good and i'd probably use it.

i've been looking for a way to watch prem games over the net, for free, for a while. I can never find anything that works. Like sopcast and all that, anybody wanna help me out?

iraqgoals.net are the best at the moment, but they aren't so reliable. but you are on the rite lines, sopcast is the best application to watch live games, you just need to find that rite link/channel.

glad you'd find it helpful. :)

yeh i see you basically download software and then watch them through that.

Whats the quality like? I was just watching a south american game through justin.tv and it was poor, plus it kept stoping every few seconds..

Quality of what? the streams on my website? I would try to get at least a 400kbps stream, which would run pretty smoothly on full screen. I'll try get 500kbps + streams which is even better, but at bare minimum I'd get 300kbps streams.

Btw, Sopcast has very good quality streams if you can find that rite one.

I mean like the picture quality.

I think it's just my internet anyway, it's poor so doesnt look like i can even watch any tv online lol.

kbps is the picture quality, it's how fast its streaming, meaning how good the picture quality it is. Your internet should be able to handle 300-800kbps download speed easily.

What speed is your internet at?

Good idea. That my2p2 or w/e never works for me for some reason.

1 suggestion. To limit people/leachers. Do the first 20 people (or however many you want) to reply get sent to pass through PM. Makes sure no guests or random people will use it.

Good Idea though, would use it :)

Sounds like you'll do a wonderful job. I look forward to seeing it :D.

yeh go for it, can't do any harm can it?
