Hi all,

I have sky digital but don't have sky sports. What is the cheapest option to get full Masters coverage?

Featured Group 1

Masters In-Depth Highlights
The latest highlights of the Tournament.

Par 3 Contest
Live coverage of this annual Masters tradition, Wed., April 6.

I'm looking forward tot he Par3 Wed, never watched it before so might be interesting.

It's great that they have some free and legal online streaming. Would be terrible if you by chance googled sports stream and mistakenly clicked on the third result, that would only encourage them good for nothing hacker streamers.

Just in case anyone has not spotted, linking to streams is not allowed on boards anymore.

I know Sky are OTT.

But I'm loving the build up for some reason.

Good show with Harmon tonight showing inside club house and some of the history and traditions.

Missed it, they might show a repeat:pac:

Contemplating just watching the BBC on Sat/Sun, even though the Golf Channel has the ultimate say in what's broadcast.

Got Sky last year for Rugby.

You end up watching golf in Sicily. Mad stuff.

Too much sport, the adds would do your Fu$cking head in. I mean 3 min adds evey 10 mins.

definitely sky hd for thurs/fri and bbc hd sat/sun.

If montgomery is there with sky on thurs/fri, i'll mute it.

I was won over by Sky's coverage last year. The music and intro's are fast becoming iconic like the BBC coverage for, well, most stuff, for me.

I love when Monty comes on, I find him enormously entertaining. Especially his speech tick where he eh, he eh, repeats, himself all the time and uh and uh... closes, closes his eyes and smiles, just after, just after making his point.

I know that the mobile app did all this too, but only for US, not Ireland. Online web stuff may be the same.

There may be some tech way you can get around, but just wanted to flag in case it is an issue.

I was all set for it last year and then it didn't come on!

Mr. Larson

Yeah good point, Sheet I think it may be geo-locked based on your I.P. address similar to BBC and RTE etc. do, to eliminate overseas people accessing the service. There are ways around it but you gotta pay to go through a different proxy server that will allow you access.

Ah I see, thanks ShriekingSheet. I'l check it out tomorrow afternoon and if it's a no go I'l try and find a working US proxy server and link it with instructions.

Only have access to Sky Go this week meaning I can't get the range coverage. Anyone know if channels in the US are broadcast the Masters on the Range similar to Sky?

Have had a look for a stream but can't find anything and afaik there is no way of watching Sky red button online via Sky Go or streams.

That's the issue, I'm looking for one with a free trial that will allow a couple of days use. Probably possible to find a free one but really doubt it will be good enough for streaming.

Masters app for the ipad has all the streaming footage also, very neat indeed.

I'm sure most of you know someone who has a Sky Sports subscription. They can register up to 3 devices. I've done this recently and it's excellent quality. Start asking...

I too searched around for coverage of the range show and couldn't find anything.

Without knowing a Sky Sports customer, is there anyone who has some magic link that will suddenly make this range thing appear for free?

Worth a try..

I completely do not want to know the magic link, so please don't post the message.
