Help needed to watch the rugby online tomorrow
Jasper - 12/10/07 at 08:24 PM

I want to watch the rugby tomorrow online, but ITV does not let you watch if you are outside the UK - and I'm in the US.

Anybody any idea who else might be showing it?

Hi,
See if you can find someone who has a Slingbox and watch it on your PC over the internet as a live feed from the Slingbox in the UK.
Cheers,
David

I managed to watch ITV rugby coverage on my laptop while in Spain...

check out

http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/

I know it says footy in the title but if you scroll way down it lists the rugby although no link will be available until nearer match time

also you will need to download a viewer such as sopcast or TUV but you will know which one you need once the link is available

They must have a deal with Fox in the US, because the itv website just says your in the US and can't watch it.

Thanks Mark - that livefooty site seems to be the one......

if you know someone in the uk with internet ring them and get their DNS address information some sites use this to find out where your from. all you have to do then is replace your US DNS server with the UK one. I use open DNS.org and that makes it look like im in the states

BIG tanks to Marky for the info - sat and watched the game here in the US with a local guy who had never seen it before - now he's hooked and admitted it's FAR better than American football (of course).

Now I've had too much Mexican food and Margarittas
