Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted March 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 Sorry to the mods to throw another thread out there that's about football AND questions, but I've had a hectic couple of days, and it's not letting up yet. Â My grandfather-in-law got really sick yesterday, and had to be admitted to hospital - seems a bit better now, but he's got to stay in, as he has gallbladder problems, with infections and misdirected gallstones, and oh so many other delightful circumstances. Â Now, he's a big Benfica fan, and his main topic of conversation for a couple of weeks has been the Chelsea game - now he's not home, and can't get FOX sports on the hospital TV, so he's going to miss it. Â I was wondering if anyone here had a way that I could DL it to the computer, or a streaming address that I could use on my iphone? I'm only going to be able to get 3G in the hospital, and I don't have time to jailbreak my iphone (only had it 4 days) and set up a hotspot, so those are my options. Any ideas?

Registration_Form Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ah the old Benfica/Grandad/Gallbladder ruse. Â google 'football stream' for live footy streams and should be places to get it? Or am I being stupid and that won't work on iphone? Â It probably is too late but if you can locate someone with skysports package then can't you use SkyGo to stream matches to other devices? How this is done I'm not sure but my friend uses his Dad's subscription to stream matches to his own laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few worldwide radio apps on the iphone as far as I know. Sit and listen with him, if he's tired he might not be up for watching TV for 2 hours.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 Plenty of streams around but I've no idea if any of them would be suitable for you. Try these addresses:- Â http://www.streamhunter.tv/ Â http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchi...amp;part=sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's on Five Live. You may be able to get that on the hospital TV if they have freeview. If not, either a radio or PC with the iPlayer website will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted March 28, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 That was real nice of you, SiMania - didn't end up watching it, he was pretty knackered, slept through a lot of the visit. I'm going to look for torrents and DLs tomorrow; again, that's something I don't do often, so if anyone could help, thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
