ITV2 - Everton vs Villarreal - Where???

Third_Echelon

Does anyone know any pubs in Dublin that show games on ITV2???

Is ITV2 on the 'standard' Sky package, or can we get it in Ireland?

Just trying to find somewhere that will show it... Thanks for any info...

ITV2 is only viewable in Ireland on a Sky Digibox if you have a UK Free to View card. You simply exchange cards in your digibox and it becomes available along with ITV1 and Channel 4 and Five. They are easily obtainable from eBay (where I got mine) or a relative in the UK can buy one from Sky for £20stg. Also, someone is selling one in FS General.

I don't have Sky unfortunately. Waiting to get my NTL digital in.... thanks anyway

TV3 may show it?

Mate, you wouldn't like to be a Celtic fan on here.

Anyway, your best bet will be a stream on the net. What's your upload speed?

Third_Echelon

Im on the NTL 3MB package so i think its 300 Kbps

ciaran76

Definitely live in Frazers on O'Connell Street (Dublin) beside the Gresham.

Third_Echelon

cool thanks!!!

anyone know anywhere on the southside? Just easier to get to really...

ciaran76

I think Gleesons in Irishtown may be showing it.

toffeeman

Cool ciaran 76. Really looking forward to this match. Hearing the Champions League tune at Goodision will send a tingle up my spine. Just hope we don't get tonked. Anyone know if the Cat and Cage in Drumcondra would have it too?

ciaran76

As far as i am aware The Cat and Cage do not have ITV2 i think they onlt have the other European channels and Sky.

Eirebhoy any idea where on the net I can watch the game? I have often tried to watch games on the net but cant find out what site they are being shown on. Thanks

Some Eirebhoy despite his love for Celtic has an unerring habit of finding streams for games and posting them here.

You will need Winamp to view any streams posted.

eireboy i tried to rgister to that streaming website u recommeded last week but didnt receive a confirmation email yet

I use this site sometimes:

NTL Digital doesn't have ITV2 either, it's a pain in the ass as it sometimes has decent stuff on it (unlike the other two ITV channels). They have ITV1 and ITV3, seems strange that they would skip ITV2. Anyone know the reason for that?

Also, when are Sky getting Channel 4 and ITV?

Third_Echelon

Cuckoo's nest in kilnamanagh/tallaght showing this as well

mr_angry

Its a disgrace its not on one of the major channels tbh. Easily the best tie of the round, and I'd much rather watch it than Utd vs Debrecen. I don't suppose Sky have started their multi-view CL coverage at this stage, no?

Shred

I'd like to see the game meself but I ain't going to the pub for it :rolleyes: The multi-view doesn't come in until the groups a.f.a.i.k.

jesus_thats_gre

I agree with Angry, would have been a great game to watch.

Washout

i agree with yiz. I was hoping setanta sports ireland wiould be showing it as they had scheduled in a CL game for tonight for the past week, but they have decided that there will be huge interest in irish ppl watching the rangers game
:rolleyes:

Setanta is an Irish channel, but it doesn't just broadcast in Ireland. It has a Scot audience too you know.

Anyway, if Rangers were 2-0 down at half time, I''m sure there would be a lot of Irish people interested.

FFS! Who in Ireland wants to watch Rangers??? Except for those who wish to cheer on the opposition!!!

I have a feeling that if Everton to reach the group stages that the same 'discrimination' will apply. Arsenal on one channel and Man Utd on the other...

Their viewership would fall under Setanta Sports UK.

There is one channel for Ireland, one for UK and one for USA...

In fairness, the discrimination in the group stages of the Champions League would be justified if Everton make it. Who gets you more excited? Thierry Henry, Wayne Rooney or Duncan Ferguson .

It's a shame they aren't showing the qualifier though.

Fair enough, that makes sense alright. But it also begs the question of how many games people expect Setanta to bid for while still remaining a free-to-cable station. I would imagine that Celtic and Rangers' European games are part of the deal that brings them SPL live games; or at least, a Rangers CL qualification game costs a lot less that Everton - Villarreal. I would imagine there's a lot more to this than just Setanta "choosing" to show Rangers rather than Everton.

Are you kidding? Arsenal wont get a look in with United and Liverpool both being there. Well, maybe on ITV, seeing as Carlton have a share in both the club and the station. Not on RTE though.

That wasn't my point... It was more about game choice than 'team choice' no matter who they are playing...

E.g. They would probably show Man Utd vs Macibi Haifa than Everton vs Monaco or Everton vs Juventus....

Was about to make this point as well. Liverpool would get the nod ahead of Arsenal more often than not.. Depends if Liverpool's and United's games are on different nights though. Otherwise, we will be watching United.

The reason I asked your upload is because the "in thing" now in streaming is P2P. My upload is a crappy 128 so most of the time I can't watch streams on P2P programs. 300 is definitely fast enough. You're probably going out to the match but I'll post this for those that want it.

1. Download Sopcat.
2. Extract Files.
3. Open Sopcat.exe
4. In the URL Field, Paste this link:
sop://sop.sopcast.org:29019/channel-1009
5. Windows Media player (or other) will open after a while. It will a few minutes to finish buffering. Then another few minutes to get a stable stream. Probably 10 minutes in total.

Since its a P2P program, unlike Winamp links, the more people watching the better the stream.

Don't get put off by the bad stream at the start. It does take a good while. Try it now, the channel is on atm. Connect as early as possible.

You have no idea what it was like last year, they had united on ITV and Tv3, and liverpool was on ITV2, I almost ripped my hair out. What on earth was that all about. I share your feeling, ITV2 is most likely were everton will be relegated too if they make it through.

If you have a good connection though, use Sopcat.

Cant believe this isn't on RTE/TV3, its certainly the pick of the matchs tonight

C'mon Everton!

Everton cant even sell out Goodison for this game kinda shows the demand for it. Utd havent sold out OT either but its not their 1st CL game ever.

While I agree its the pick of tonight's matches, I would say, RTÉ will get better viewing figures for the ManU match than they would for the Everton one — even with it also on BBC1.

Whats the story with that steam?

Tough luck for Everton
Lets hope they can pull it back

No chance I'm afraid. There's very few teams, if any, with a European home record like Villarreal's. 17 clean sheets in 18 matches or something like that.

I remember a lot of people saying the same thing at half time in the final last season....

Davei141

Yeah theres no such thing as 'no chance' in football.

Cept when your 3-0 down to acmilan with 38 mins left.
