Hey guys can anyone tell me if it is possible to watch sports (looking specifically for the English Premier League and Champions League) on Apple TV and how you go about it ? Don't mind paying for the service if that is required

Thanks

Victor

Login with a UK Apple ID and subscribe to NowTV. You'll then get all the SkySports channels. A much cheaper option is to subscribe to nt.mx and use an iPhone/iPad (if you have one) to airplay it via the Apple TV.

ntv.mx have the UK Premium package that costs around R200 and has a huge selection of channels: http://ntv.mx/?c=2&a=0&p=74&item_id=22&type=tv

nowtv is over R600 a month for just the sports channels.

Premier League live is only sold to the BBC and Sky in the UK, with Sky getting the bulk. BBC iPlayer only offers delayed. I think Now TV is your only option for live matches.

Supersport have the SA rights. Thats your only other choice.

EDIT: There are other sites that claim to offer live streaming of Premier League matches, but they look dodgy as hell :) Google live streaming of premier league :)

I stream NTV mainly for SkySports F1 and I have no issues with it. Quality is really good with no buffering or sudden quality drops. Why don't you just buy a month's subscription and decide after that?

Are the streams of sports LIVE or delayed ?
