Hi there,

1. tell us the problem your experiencing
I have instaled correctly SopCast, but when I try to view the football matches I get the following issues:
the channels are offline.
Connecting to the channel then nothing.
Buffering up to around 40 then nothing.
Bufering up to 5-10 and nothing.
(sometimes waiting for almost entire match for buffering).
Sometimes I do get some of the match, intermittently running, very poor quality image.
Sometimes I can't even get to see the list of streams. This is all on Man Utd games and I go through all of the channel list. I have done the VLC player Open Network Stream http://localhost:8902 thing, and my windows firewall is allowing sopcast through, I've even tried it with windows defender off and the firewall off and antivirus off with no difference. Reboot does nothing, refresh does nothing, restarting internet explorer 7 does nothing, clearing the cache, history, cookies and files does nothing, also IExplorer security down as low as it will i.e. medium also has no effect.

2. whats your pc specification
The HPG5000 is not 1 year old yet and has a good spec without any other video/streaming playing issues

3. whats your internet speed and who is your net provider
ADSL 2.2Mbps minimum (although I don't believe an of these claimed speeds anymore) - provider is Nildram.

4. what anti-spyware software do you use, and is it setup properly
Avast 4.8 and yes it's set up properly.

5. what firewall do you use and have you set it up properly
Windows Firewall (Vista Home Premium SP1 fully up to date)

6. what anti virus software are you using and is it setup properly
Avast 4.8 and yes it's set up properly.

Please help.

Kind regards
Dean
