This worked after a few extra steps. Sorry if this repeats previous posts.
1. I have Firefox 1.5, so there's an additional Firefox plugin required for Sopcast.
2. If the channel isn't carried by SopCast, then you will have to download additional players. To watch FFC/Chelsea (as a test), I downloaded TVants.
3. Additionally, I had to switch from my wireless connection to a hard-wired connection, which considerably bumped up my DL speed.
It worked. Watching Shanghai Sports is not optimal, but after the initial buffering (5 minutes?), very smooth and certainly better than not watching at all (in USA, Reading is always covered by either FSC or Setanta, but Setanta I don't have). Today's match is carried by FSC with a slight delay so I will be watching and cheering for the shocking, imminent upset.
