Box Nation on Freeview as well

yeah i think its also being broadcast on boxnation website

 

Hi guys, I'm from Sports Tonight Live. We will be streaming live on www.sportstonightlive.com worldwide, as well as showing the fight on Freeview, if you have a compatible box.

 

explain what you mean. I have a freeview hd box. Is that all I need, or do I need to hook it up to my router?

 

What is a compatible box?

 

This thread has confused the **** out of me, I thought freeview was just a little box you connect up to your tv and away you go, a few free channels.

 

LOL do HBO PPV know you are streaming a $60 event WORLDWIDE for free.:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

WTF are some of you chatting, the Boxnation site is GEO restricted to the UK, you seriously think HBO would allow people from America to watch for freeatsch

 

Freeview can receive Top Up TV if you have the right card (as I did with Setanta back in the day). Freeview HD boxes also have ethernet connections so you can access iPlayer and, more and more, internet TV channels.

What would be good to know is whether it's the internet TV option you'd need, or whether it's on Free-To-Air Freeview. If BoxNation ended up on Freeview or Top Up TV... much joy for dftaylor!

 

Worldwide does include more than the US, you know. They can block US IP addresses with ease.

 

I know that, what im saying is Frank ****** has the rights to distribute Hopkins card to the UK.

No other site or channel has the rights, and no other site can legally show it in the UK or more to the point outsude the UK.

So that guy is chatting **** and just spamming his crap site.

Why would frank stick a PPV channel on freeview......

I think you're all getting confused, if you have a HD freeview box with a ethernet port, you can huck it upto the internet and watch the online stream from boxnation ON YOUR TV.

HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND!

 

EDIT: Don't want a ban.

 

Well, I didn't look up his site on account of his having Audley as a profile pic - but his site is mentioned in the previous article and this appears to be the official outlet for it. Anyway, the whole thing is actually pretty confusing:

So it mentions streaming, but also that it's being broadcast on Freeview. And again:

But it never explicitly says that you need it hooked up to the internet. While it technically IS using the Freeview HD platform, the article is a little disingenuous about what that means. Hence the confusion.

 

From the Sports Tonight website

i think that makes it pretty clear you need to be hooked up to broadband

 

I have no freeview box but its only a one year old HD TV with built in freeview , will i be able to watch

 

Yes, but THAT was not in the quoted article, was it?

 

Only if it has internet TV functionality. Look at your manual.
