    Sky Sports for everything bar the open Championship, which is BBC. The Beeb also show the Masters, but share coverage with Sky. RTE have the Irish Open when it's on.

    Think Setanta show the Open & Masters or least they did last year.

    Not sure about ESPN, BT sport don't show any golf, well not yet anyway.

    For golf coverage you really need Sky Sports, in a way I hope BT Sport don't get any golf as I don't want to get two different sports subscriptions.

    Hosting music MP3s and downloading them is both bad

    it's an incredibly grey area with online streaming, but majority of them that's the case.
