Where can i watch the World Cup?

electric69 · 2007-08-08 21:17:38

Im living over in America and i cant find any channels that are showing it. Any1 know where i can find a list of stations that will be broadcasting the matches? Ireland matches are a must. I really dont want to spend all day in a pub watching the matches but its increasingly looking like it.

I fail to see your problem

They be streamed on loads of sites so you can watch from home, but your other suggestion sounds much better.

Can you get Setanta Sports where you are in the US? Setanta Sports US is now available on "Dish Network" if that's any help... They'll be showing the 2007 RWC (see here).

I got it back in today funnily enough! Got a letter in the post telling me that if I re-subscribed it would be 9 EUR a month for the first 3 months instead of 18 EUR. And it's not a one-year minimum contract anymore!

If you can wait a day to watch them, then you could use diwana to download them - assuming your connection lets you.

Can anyone confirm whether Setanta's coverage of the RWC in Ireland is being broadcast on Setanta Ireland (included in NTL) or Setanta 1/2 (subscription needed)?

A few people have told me that I'll need to take out an additional subscription on top of NTL to see the RWC games on Setanta.

I also believe ITV and S4C will show all the matches live. You can manually tune SKY to receive them. That way you don't have to sign up to Setanta...
