Streaming Help

There are two very reliable and free players available which cover channels which broadcast almost every Arsenal game played – from Champions League to the Carling Cup – in English commentary. Commentary in other languages may also be available, but this depends from one game to another. The two players are:

TvAnts - http://www.tvants.com/

Sopcast – http://www.sopcast.org/

There are many other players like PPLive, PPStream, PPMate etc. which are installed in a similar fashion to those above. These can be found via Google. Streams will be provided for the above 2 players and others depending on availability.
