Sorry if this is in a wrong category.

Anyhow, now that UFC is in England, I was considering buying the PPV stream from yahoo to watch my first "live" UFC. When UFC is in US it starts too late but now looks like it's 9pm EET

But for $45 it'd better be damn good quality stream! That's like 7 euros at current rates...

Anyone ever ordered and watched the stream through yahoo?

Actually, the live feed is at 3pm Eastern Time....not sure where you are man.

I have heard that the Yahoo stream is shitty...depending on your computer setup and system speed, of course, it might be different. But the advantage is that I believe that if you purchase it through Yahoo, you have access to it for 24 hours, which is nice.

Oh great, now I have two second hand stories... one says it's great, other says it's shitty :confused:

I'm from Finland so EET (UTC +2, ET +6) is my zone. Yahoo is my only chance to watch it live, I'd get regular PPV were it available for me.

I hear ya...the stream will be fine if you have a high spped internet connection and a good PC. So don't sweat it.

The friend of mine that had the shitty stream has a questionable PC. So you will prob be ok

I've bought them on a good computer and a shitty old one, and other than one point when it froze on the crap computer is has been TV quality.

I order it and the stream quality was good. I watched it at the best quality (1200kbps) and my old laptop (P3 1Ghz, 512MB) run it smoothly. There were couple of times when the video stopped but it got back to synch pretty quickly.

It was worth it.
