This new thread is done to make life a little easier for everyone. ;D

I'm gonna post a few useful links, programs, and downloading tricks.

Lets start with a few links that help when you're a tennis fan :

The atp site.... weird but you can find tons of informations on it

www.atptennis.com/1/en/home/

The speaking clock.... nice to know how many hours there is between you and Marat

www.horlogeparlante.com/english/thailand_bangkok_237.php

Permanent scoreboards..... horrible stuff but it's nice to know anyway

www.livescore.com/tennis.dll

Things are getting tricky here ;D

Live stream.....

wwitv.com/portal.htm choose TV: Sports on the list on the right of the window..... not always working but you can check it out

livevideo.betfair.com/ you need to register first, it's free.... not working in the US, sorry guys

And here's a little program called MaxTV.... with this you have access to tons of chanels from all over the world, and there's a lot of sport chanels ;D

Go to www.max-tv.org/?go=maxtv to download the program



Once it is downloaded and installed, run it and click on "television"...... then on "tous les genres".... scroll down and click on "sport".... you're now having all the sport chanels available ;D

Now you want to download a video from Youtube or Dailymotion.....

You click on the link of the video you want to watch..... once it is started, you open another window with this link keepvid.com/

You copy and paste the link of the video :



Then you wait for a few seconds and :



Once the video is downloaded, you need to rename it (it's gonna be a file called get_video) and change the extention.
Right click on it and chose settings, change the name and add .flv

Of course you need an flv player to watch it ;D


Now for those using Firefox ;D

Download a little program called Videodownloader at :

javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php



It adds a little icon at the bottom right or your firefox window.

Open the video you want to download and click on the icon :



Then click on "download link".

Wait a few seconds and click on "save on the disk"



The video is saved on your desktop.... you now need to rename it and change the extention.
