They have only been off the air for a month or so but I am missing there great boxing coverage already.:(
The fights from the US last night would have been on for example.

True.
Although the stream i watched last night was smooth the whole way through (i'm not a regular stream watcher), which made me think about the money i could have saved on all the PPVs/subscription over the years :-\
I feel your pain on missing out Setanta boxing coverage mate.I was with Setanta for 3years and when their went bust i was gutted.Setanta were great on missing.I miss it:eek:Quote:

Someone needs a swift kick in the ass if you ask me{which you didn't;D} Thank goodness for streams.
They're still advertising Setanta over here. I guess no one has thought to pull the adds. They only just started offering here before they collapsed anyways.
They would have had the witter fight on last night and a whole load more Top Rank fights. Lets hope ESPN cover the boxing like Setanta did.
Yes but the more watched fights will have slower streams so if your watching a big fight it will keep stopping i dont imagine to many people were watching Bradley vs Campbell on a stream even less would have been watching Witter ;D.Quote:

Hopefully ESPN which has now launched will pick up some fights.
some one emailed me on facebook saying there is a suggestions part on espn & we should all put boxing on it, couldnt find where on site so couldnt do it, anyone help with this?
Yeah, I get you, I just believe streaming online is the way forward. I had an online account with Setanta, and for the streaming, especially when they upgraded their site towards the end, it was excellent. People need to embrace that technology. I think there is GoFightLive is that right, and also somewhere else that I was told about by a guy markb18 if i remember the name correctly. Theres some real gaps in the internet market for streaming fights with quality footage for small fees IMO.....Quote:

For sure, one thing thats sweet though is you get yourself the right cable, laptop on wireless in your living room and link your laptop to your tv. Comp screen resolution is much higher than a TV so invariably the picture is great onto your tv. Give it a go man, you won't be disappointed.... You could even do it from a normal comp right?!
glad you brought this up i am trying to connect my lptop to my TV now and it just wont work i have a VGA port on my laptop and HDMI on the TV the cable comes with built in sound cables just will not work i am now going to try VGA to VGA is there anything i need to do on the laptop i have extended the monitor in display to no 2 but it will not stay on that one it keeps going back to number 1 monitor if any can help with this great as i am about to give up!!!!Quote:
