Rounds 5 and 6' fixtures will be announced soon.
Yay, Sale's first two games are on tv! Hm, Llanelli may actually do well this year, given we have a strong start with Harlequins at PARK Y SGARLETZ.

Aw damn, just realised the Clermont game will be on the red button, and Munster's game will only be highlights! :wah:
Guys, is it possible to record a red-button game via Sky+?

 

[Gavin]

Munster seem to have a good set of fixtures, even if they are in the "Pool of Death" The two home matches against Sale and Clermont will be critical before they head to France to take on the strong home region of Montauban. The two home matches will put us in good stead to take on Montauban. First match is at home against the new French team, we will be going into the unknown but hopefully we shall get the winning bonus point before taking out the other two clubs away from home. Gonna do down to the line this year for this group lads. Better get our pace-makers at the ready.

Dunno if you can do that mate. Why don't you just go old school and record it onto a video tape - that's what I do.

Heh, I may do that via disk instead. Just need some blank disks now. >_>

 

[Prestwick]

Try sites like JustinTV or something, they usually have people broadcasting the games that way.

Eh? Broadcasting games in what way?

 

[Prestwick]

Basically Justin.tv is a site that allows you to broadcast either yourself via webcam or whatever you're watching on your television or TV card.

I watch allot of NHL and Stanley Cup action this way.

Bit like porn then :blink: Is it legal to do that? It must be though, or I would have heard a big up-roar about it.

 

[Prestwick]

No idea really, there are several sites that do webcam/TV hosting like Justin.tv and STICKam.

Hum, I have a feeling the via disk way will be easier.
