Not sure where to put this thread.. Anyways, just switched over to Mac and tried visiting some of the sites where I like to stream sports on, and they're not Mac compatible!

Does anyone watch streaming news/sports from other countries and can share some good ones that work on Mac? I like to study languages, so looking for International sites. Also some good sports streaming sites would be great. Hope I am not asking for something that is illegal..

Thanks for your help

Not sure what you mean by Mac compatible...are you sure you have flash and whatever web plugins up to date?

Yeah, but the main ones I used were all using Windows Media Player.. So they won't load

Can you give us an example URL of one of the sites? Quicktime will play Windows Media if you install Flip4Mac. While you are at it also install Perian and you should be able to play most anything.

I moved it to OSX Applications as Safari and Quicktime for sure are applications. I also changed the thread title as this will get you more help.

Glad I could help. For future compatibility I would also install Perian. That way you can play pretty much anything.
