Question: Way to watch Champions League Final live online?

russmail — Wed, 23 May 2007 11:08:35 -0800

The Champions League Final starts in just over half an hour. I'm at work in LA. I have a net nanny. I can use vtunnel to get round it, but I can't access video on channelchooser using vtunnel. And there only 2 crappy sports channels on TVU. How am I going to watch the final live online?

If you fail to get video, there's always Five Live for commentary (though I'm not sure if it works outside the UK). Some people can't stand Alan Green, but I think he's one of the better commentators around.

Five Live cut away just before the start of the match. I gave up looking and put on ESPN2. But I realise that may not be an option for those people with jobs.

Neither of Otis' links worked for me. Glad you got though, russmail!

is there a plugin that's needed to make the channelsurfing link work? i'm just getting a black box....

gnutron - I didn't install anything. I got the black box the first few times, and then it just worked. A bit random, I know, but there it is.
