Rugby World Cup
Can anyone tell me where we can watch live coverage of the final in Calgary next Saturday?
We have seen the semi final in a few bars in Vancouver, but don't know which ones are carrying the final in Calgary.
Thanks
Peter

Re: Rugby World Cup
You can watch it on the ITV.com website with a UK proxy. I have watched all my games via this medium and will watch the final as well.

Re: Rugby World Cup
But watching it at home on the internet is not the same as being in a bar! Are there any places showing it live in Calgary, or better still for me in Canmore?

Well one of them is nearly four, and is named Jonny for a very good reason!

Re: Rugby World Cup
Too true, atmosphere is more than worth it, sry mate wrong end of the stick. Back to proxies go to http://www.samair.ru/proxy/type-17.htm and find the UK then enter proxy address as follows >tools>internet options>connections>lan settings>proxy server then away you go. You may have to try a few before you get one that works though, don't give up there's always one.

Re: Rugby World Cup
I just tried all the proxies and although I could get to the ITV site I couldn't get the video to work. It either spotted that I was not in the UK or it came up with a pop-up (getlicence.itv.com) that did not display properly and therefore I could not proceed. I also failed to get live audio from the BBC site via any of the proxies

Re: Rugby World Cup
I've just used this proxy and it went through no problem can't work out why they didn't work, unable to guarantee it's still open though.

Try not to use the Codeen proxies, they let you surf but do not work when trying to access any of the terrestial TV sites.

Re: Rugby World Cup
I'm going to watch it at Limericks in Calgary. As for being thrashed, you may well be right, but I was pleased that we even got through our group, everything since then has been a real bonus. It is an interesting contrast between this final and the last one when we were hot favourites for the entire year leading up to the world cup. This time England are certainly the underdogs, but then they have been in their last two games!

Re: Rugby World Cup
Try sopcast.org (or search for SOPCAST). Download the web client. You can get online streaming for most popular sports (great for seeing the Champions League when at work!). Once you have downloaded the client you need to run the ActiveX control, but the pop-up blocker comes up over the option too quickly - either allow popups or else catch it quickly. You don't always have the stream or you might need to find a channel with a good bandwidth. The picture quality is tolerable, but when there is no other option it's great to have!
