The 2010 FIFA Football World Cup starts in South Africa on 11th June. You can watch all the live football on your computer with World Football. Support your country in their campaign for victory in the FIFA World Cup. There are a few ways you can watch the world cup football live on your computer.

Watch Live World Cup Football

You can watch the world cup live on your computer using software such as sopcast, but the streams are not very good. They can be choppy and keep buffering, the live streams themselves are of a low quality (low resolution) and as the feed is coming from some random persons PC (p2p streaming), they aren’t very stable or reliable.

There was a time about a year ago were you could watch Live Football games on media streaming sites such as justin.tv and ustream.com but the content providers have since clocked on and any streams that do appear are quickly taken down at their request. So, watching world cup live football on media streaming sites will get you a better picture quality, but this become useless as you only get to watch for maybe 5 minuets (if your lucky) before the stream is taken down.

So that only leaves World Cup Football. You will get all the world cup football games streamed right to your PC or MAC. You can watch live world cup football and soccer right from the comfort of your laptop or desktop PC including now on MAC as well from anywhere in the world with a broadband connection.

Coolstreaming is based on the technology P2PTV (television of Per to Per) which makes it possible for the users to divide and share the bandwidth of the television channel being streamed with one anothers Internet connection. Technology behind Coolstreaming is similar to that of Bittorrent. The contents of channel is both viewed and uplaoded simutatiuonaly buy the viewers of the stream. Coolstreaming creates a local “stream” on the localhost (your desktop pc) and this stream is then shown through Windows media player, Real player or any other media player. The original code coolstreaming is developed with python 2.3 on Windows. Coolstreaming is a data-centric design of peer-to-peer streaming overlay.

Coolstreaming uses some notable features of the protocol include its intelligent scheduling algorithm that copes well with the bandwidth differences of uploading clients and thus minimises skipping during playback, and its swarm-style architechture that uses a directed graph based on gossip algorithims to broadcast content availability. Coolstreaming is the first system of P2PTV which attracts a remarkable quantity customers (more than 1 million, while majority of the less attracted preceding systems than 1 thousand customers). In date June of 10, the 2005 service of Coolstreaming had stopped because of the exits of copyright. However, there are several alternative services.

PPLive software was written at Huazhong University’s Science and Technology department in China (hence all the text being in Chinese).

To Watch the Live Stream you need to install a small bit of software called Sopcast. Click the link to install the Sopcast player saying yes to install the ActiveX component when prompted. You will also see the Windows security alert this just before you watch a channel,

Please select Unblock when windows asks you for your stream to work properly.

Please keep checking back as I will be adding new channels soon!

Sopcast is the small piece of software needed to view the live football streams. Sopcast is used to multicast the streams for the TV channels listed on this site over the internet. Sopcast uses a distributed bandwidth technique similar to bittorrent to lighten the load of the broadcaster’s upstream bandwidth where each listener/viewer will relay or piggyback the stream they download to one or more additional viewers. Please make sure you unblock your firewall when Sopcast prompts you to increase the stability of the stream for the next person! That’s how we all get free TV football streams! Become part of the Free Football TV community. Using Sopcast allows any multicasters, particularly small or independent ones, ie the people how stream the sport TV channels, to distribute their streams without need for much bandwidth, saving them costs. It also allows, theoretically, an infinite number of listeners as long as there are enough people adding to the stream.

Hello basketball fans. So you want to watch live streams of the big NBA basketball matches live over the internet on your computer? Well, with a little computer knowledge and an install of SopCast on your PC, you can. Using SopCast stand alone internet TV media player, you can stream live TV channel directly to your broadband connected desktop PC. No websites to sign up to, no broken links, no spending hours on forums only to find a link to the basketball game you wanted to watch 10 minutes from time! To be honest, the hardest part about SopCast is finding what channel the basketball live stream is on. A lot of the TV channels on SopCast are Chinese streams so all though you can watch most basketball matches live, it does require a bit of trial and error till you find the live basketball match you want. You can normally find live basketball on station such as ESPN, Star Sports or CCTV 5 so I would recommend you try these first.

Just a word of warning; If you know what channel the basketball match you want to watch will be on, log on a good 10-15 mins before the games starts as the live games can take a while for the channel to “settle down” and you get an uninterrupted stream.

Live Basketball teams you can watch online.

Boston Celtics, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Bobcats, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio Spurs.
