Streaming football off my laptop

Hi just a quick question I'm streaming a football match off my laptop and then playing it on my tv via HDMI. The problem is the quality is not the best but fairly watchable all the same. I've upc broadband which is fast so that's not the problem. Is there any software I can download to improve the quality??

The quality is only as good as the source stream, so unless you can find higher quality ones your stuck. Maybe try different players, VLC has loads of options which may help improve video rendering/buffering.

if you have good fast broadband use Acestream player and Links might not convert to tv good as is it uses hd streams.

if using flash look out for the better high quality streams

Just wondering if there is any good paid streaming sites for football?
Don't mind throwing a few euro for stable HD streams.

Get an android box and install XBMC. You'll have the world of streams!

Mod: Just a reminder folks linking to potentially "dodgy" or illegal streaming sites is not ok

I'm a bit green on streaming. the best I manage is a game on my laptop. can anyone give me some additional ideas of how to go about it? or maybe a few sites that are quality and safe from spam?
cheers

Discussion of legal websites only please. Discussion about streaming premium sports TV illegally is not allowed here.

Honeypot? XBMC has already been mentioned here, I suggest you research it.
