I'm nearly 100% sure that the games will be shown on Korean TV as they have rights for it, ESPN-Starsports! How many of the games they'll show I don't know but hopefully all of them!

Can you post a link on Korean TV broadcasting the tournament? I have Skylife and it has Star Sports Southeast Asia feed, which I hope has the tourney.

I read that MBC ESPN (now MBC Sports +) aired the semis and final of the 2007 World Cup of Rugby.

http://myp2p.bz/ shows streams. The quality of the stream varies, but it will do in a pinch.

www.myp2p.eu also - as above, quality varies but they're normally fine for watching a football game.

Star Sports in Korea will not be showing live games. They'll have replays at stupid o'clock in the morning.

P2p is down at the moment - not sure for how long.

Found this one, but not sure of the quality. Has anyone subscribed to this before? http://www.watchliverugby.net/

Came across this as well, but they don't seem to advertise the WC. Have also heard negative comments about quality. http://setanta-i.com/

A great site that will stream all the games in high quality live. I use it for Football.

http://www.streampro.tv

You can pay monthly (�10?), yearly (�35?) or even just a 1 day trial (�2.50)

It does suck. That link works pretty well. Advertising is a bit annoying. Do u think it will work ok with the no. of viewers with world cup?
I'm using Cj home vision for TV, internet. Do they have any kind of package for the games. I think I have 1 ESPN chanel. I have no idea what particular channels in Korea are showing games if any. If anyone has updates or general info, please post.

Most of the games will be shown live through star sports in Korea (Including the opening ceremony). Not sure where the other poster got his information from, but I just check on their website and they definitely have the games on live starting Friday.

Most, if not all cable providers in Korea have Star Sports included in their package, if not, I know skylife does. Bummer the games will not be shown in HD.

Hope this helps

C n M cable in Yongsan just dropped Star Sports in August on their digital package so if they are your cable provider they may not have it.

Check the link in my previous post - perhaps we're looking at different websites. If so, could you post a link to the Star Sports TV guide for Korea.
Appreciated.

On your link you have 3 choices ESPN is highlighted try the star sports tab and you will see the opening ceremony starts at 3.30pm and the game at 4.24pm.

Just one more sleep Very Happy
