Thanks for the information and the links. Just to add that I use the link below to identify which soccer matches are ongoing so that I don't have to mess about calculating time differences before I click for a live game on another site. I'll know it's live at the time of clicking in this way - I'm basically using the link below as a cross-reference. It's in my list of favourites! Yes, I like SOPCAST a lot. The download speed is often better than using FLASH platforms. Veetle is also good. Narrow band in China can be a pain!
