    Anybody know how I can watch GAA games online? I have P2P streaming software PPStream, but I cant find an online link to a channel like Setanta which might be showing the games (specifically dublin v mayo). Anybody offer any help?

    P2P streaming can be used to watch any channel essentially. For example I often use it to watch premiership games. you can do it like this...

    It takes a bit of effort but is worth it for any of ye, who like me,
    are abroad and want to still watch the odd game.

    Go to http://www.tvants-ppstream.com/PPStream.aspx and download and
    install the PPStream software. Once installed a list of channels
    available are on the right. However they are all in some funny asian
    language so you dont know what channels they are. Instead go to this
    link:

    http://www.myp2p.eu/

    and you will find all the schedules for live football (option on the
    left hand side column). Click on the game you want (on the channel you
    want - theres usually some choices) and it should open automatically
    in the PPStream software. Be patient it can take anywhere between 1-10
    minutes to buffer and open. You have to have a good reliable, fast,
    internet connection, but the quality, once buffered is usually very
    good.

    So if I could find a link to channels like rte or setanta it would be amazing. Please let me know if any of you can help.

    you won't ind a p2p stream for setanta or rte since there would not be enough people connected to get a decent stream. You can get the sunday game and other big games to d/l from an Oz Rules site. PM me if that's any use

    Thanks for that, and if you do find any way of watching the GAA let us know. I travelled for 45 min this morning across Houston to watch the Mayo/Dub game only to be told they were recording the Rangers game and would not turn over!!!! I was raging. Missed a great game by all accounts.

    Hmm - the Rangers game started at 2.00pm, plenty of time for them to switch over before the GAA at 4.00pm - unless it was a delayed broadcast...

    I know! Sure thats what I told the guy, the after interviews were on. But no wouldnt turn over, the guy has no clue anyway he was american. The bar has a rangers supporters club, so I imagine GAA is not the most watched sport!!

    Just discovered this, and i cant believe i didn't look for it before the match last Sunday! But Setanta have a pay per view broadband live coverage of the GAA! you can buy the final of both hurling and football for $9.95 each! At least I will be certain now to see Mayo lift Sam!! :D

    Here is a link for anyone else abroad!
