Will it no be a tidy sum for you to sit on a comp for 2 hours though? Is it no a certain number of Euros per minute?

Excluding connection costs it will cost you 5 quid to watch live and 3.50 to watch on archives later if you miss it live. You will need at least a 512 broadband connection and if this is what they have select the 250 feed option. However if the connection is faster you should chose the 450 feed option. You just log onto the Internetfootball site - and must buy your ticket at least an hour before kick off. I strongly suggest you do a DRM test way before you want to watch a match - pretend to pay for a game and on the next screen look for link to this DRM test. This tests the computer's ability to accept DRM licensed content and if you can do this and see moving pictures and hear sound you should be OK. Quit when you have finished. When you have entered in all your details at the time you buy your ticket you will be sent an e-mail with a 4 character license code. Near to kick off click the appropriate view button on the internetfootball site to select the game and feed speed you want. Just before kick off a licence entry dialog box wil drop down asking for the e-mail you used and the 4 character code. Wait a wee while and the Play button will become go from having grey to black font. When Play is in black click on this button and after a wee wait for buffering you should be in. PS Licensing may happen just before kick off. You may need to check with Lux to find out if a mobile e-mail such as hotmail or yahoo will be OK or not. Suggest you try to do the DRM test at home before you go so you know what you are trying to do. Good luck. Am away from early am for the week so will not be able to answer any questions. Hopefully Lux will be around.

If I remember correct, you also need to watch the game on the same PC that you bought the ticket. So if you go back to tune in prior to kick off and someone's on playing World of Warcraft or something, you'll have to pay more cash to get him off. Or else let him watch for free with you. How could he refuse?

You don't need to watch from the same PC you purchased with, but you cannot swap PC's at half time, the license is valid once, for one PC.
Rhino about covers it, however, I would add...
Wherever you are intending watching from, do 2 or 3 different bandwidth tests - unless you are consistently over 400K, ensure that you choose 'view' on the game marked '250K'
if you are not over 250K, try somewhere else, you will only get annoyed and frustrated...
Also, if on your own laptop, reinstal Media Player 10 (NOT 11, they are still having teething probs with it) even if you think there are no problems with your player - trust me, just do it
if not your own laptop, ie in a cafe - in advance, get the owner/operator/techy to allow a reinstal.

This will ensure no problems with the DRM
most of ... enjoy

Lux, is there any way of getting the games on a Mac?
I'm finally not working Saturday as it's a holiday weekend but I'll be away for it. The people I'm staying with have a Mac but I don't think it'll work...

Not straightforward...
I have had reports of people with a decent spec Mac, running a good PC emulator (ie not a free one) being able to run Media Player 10 and obtaining DRM license, and therefore being able to watch...
