    I'd like to know, where can i find live games either on TV or on the internet? I saw the thread about the streams but it didn't work for me. What do you guys use?

    I don't use streams, though I probably should if I want to find RPL and other foreign leagues to watch at home. In any case, to catch the English Premiership, Italian Serie A, Argentine Primera and Australian A-League you should get FSC (Fox Soccer Channel). GolTV carries German Bundesliga, Spanish la Liga, Colombian Professional Football, Ecuadorian Serie A, Primera División Uruguaya and Liga Nacional de Guatemala. Setanta Sports carries French Ligue 1, Scottish Premier League, English Premiership, Coca-Cola Championship, League One and League Two. I didn't include what cup competitions they carry, but Setanta carried early and late stages of the Champions League and FSC carries the UEFA Cup.

    ^ Yes they do, and then sometimes they have delayed games. FSC is very good though since you get a lot of EPL games.

    Always check out http://www.stoogetv.com on game days. Usually they can find you a link. Even for obscure European basketball games and stuff they have links most of the time.

    Right now FSC is playing a great Serie A match between Udinese and Juventus. You may want to check that out.

    I prefer Setanta Sports, because this season they are showing more EPL games than any other channel. Plus, they have full coverage of the World Cup (qualifiers included), UEFA Cup (select group, important knockouts), and the Champions League (select group, and all knockout games). They also have Arsenal TV, Liverpool TV, Celtic TV, Rangers TV, and Setanta Sports 2 (this may be only for UK viewers). They also cover the Bundesliga, Clydesdayle Premier, Blue Square Premier, the FA Cup, French Ligue 1, and Eredivisie. On top of that, they have rugby (Tri Nations, Magner League, NRL), hockey, golf, darts, cricket, boxing, horse racing (LOL), and Gaelic Football.

    Most of that coverage is only for those in the UK though, ME.

    Oh, okay. Thanks.

    Oh and also, they have highlights of the EPL weekends, daily news, and a couple of chat shows.

    Yeah, FSC has that here. They also have a news program from SkySports.

    If I had it my way, I'd have all three networks.

    Yeah, agreed. Although, I see nothing in GolTV that appeals to me.

    I like it for the South American leagues, Bundesliga, la Liga and dozens of other stuff. I know that FSC is currently in negotiations with the RPL to air one or two matches per week from Russia. They already have highlights, but I want matches!

    Yeah, Setanta used to have some A-League, but I don't think they really got any views, so they ditched it.

    I think EuroSport is good as well. Not sure if you guys in UK have it, but in Germany they do. Also had it in my country when I lived there.

    You'll see more, check Serie A matches. There are some good ones in the coming weeks.

    Looks like I have Setanta and FSC. I was hoping for GolTV as well, but apparently Dish Network ditched the channel recently. Not being able to watch La Liga is going to be disappointing.
