How to watch Wimbledon in California
I don't want to miss Andy Murray's semi and potential final - any tips on where to catch it ? Either on "normal" TV live or delayed or on the web ? I have Dish Network (I believe - still haven't got to grips with US TV).
Thanks !
Thanks !

On US TV, coverage alternates between ESPN2 and NBC.
If that fails, see this thread http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=612013

ESPN coverage is a bit rubbish, commentary especially.
filmon.com and http://www.myp2p.eu/ are your online bets.

Thanks, I'll try that web thing when I get home tonight. Will also check out whether I get the channels you mentioned - generally I don't watch much TV as the amount and quality of the advertising is just ridiculous.

You could try ESPN360 on the web. I watch Rugby League on there all the time and the quality is fantastic

I tried the FilmOn thing but when I go to BBC1 all I see is the word "SCRAMBLED" - any way round this ?

What do you mean by "using the VLC shortcuts" ?
Not so upset that I missed the tennis now. Gutted that he's out though !
