Hi,

I’m French but living in Japan and believe it or not, here they *do* broadcast the tour, but not some of the mountain stages…

Anyway, if you go to http://www.myp2p.eu, you’ll find a real time updated list of sources that broadcast it live (I watched from Versus yesterday).
The quality is not the best (defenetely not like TV), but you can still get the excitement (the site is very well updated in real time so if you go when it’s not on, you’ll find no source but get back later and it’s gonna be there)

By the way, to access the stream you might need to install some software, such as SopCast or veetle (they are all free and listed on the “software” tab of the site),

It could be because your internet connection is too slow.

Since 04 July, I have tried every available way to get the live streaming of the Tour de France on sbs.com.au/tdf, as promised by SBS. I have even downloaded Flash Player 10 at considerable expense. Nothing is working. I get endless re-runs of “Preludes”, with equally endless buffering and static and pauses and unintelligible speech. I have tried every which way of typing in the sbs.com.au site also, including the words “player”, “streaming”, “live”, et., etc. I have written to you once before, and your reply said the live streaming is working at your end and you cannot imagine what could be wrong at my end. EVERYTHING is wrong. I feel angry. Please HELP. Sheila McLaren.

Incorrect, SBS is not streaming it live.

now if only we can get it unmetered, because this could chew through some significant download quota if every stage isn’t completely live (eg if you live in wa)
