Area 77

Ofcourse, many of you can’t wait ’till the Spanish League starts again.

Ofcourse, many of you might not have access to live feeds of the games.

BUT!! I think I’ve found a solution. Back in the 2004-2005 season, it was my first year of college and I was really bummed that the USA weren’t too crazy about soccer as the rest of the world is and spent about two months watching choppy streaming feeds from random websites. The quality was terrible and it was extremely annoying. So I kept trying to find alterantive ways. Then I found this website. It is a Norweigan webTV channel that broadcasts many sporting events LIVE in broadband high quality resolution (but not fullscreen). Although the comentary is in Norweigan, I was so desperate I didn’t really care. However, it is a pretty expensive service. Around $100. Crazy I know, but what can I do?

This channel has this thing called subscriptions. Each event is it’s own subscription. For example, the Spanish League is it’s own subscription and it lasts until the end of the season. If you clicked on the link, you can see the different events available in the column on the left. Since the Spanish League didn’t start yet, it is not yet listed. It will be either a day before or on the day of the first match.

Just my luck, for the 2005-2006 season, I was ready to sign up for another season but I was then told that the service was not available for the United States anymore. Sucks ass, but I’m hopeful so maybe it won’t be this time around. If it still isn’t available, I will have to have someone in kuwait to sign me up. Afterwards, it won’t matter where you’re watching, as long as when you paid the subscription you were in a country that was eligible (I think).

I’ll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, I would appreciate any suggestions of other sites and services. I won’t work with crappy streams.
