Why February is the worst month in the UK for me.
I haven't even got through the first day of Feb and already I have been reminded of why Feb is such a kak month for me.
It's not even the shite weather that gets to me. I can handle that and there are things I can do to solve that problem.
The Number 1 reason I hate Feb is because the Super 14 starts! I love the Super 14!!!...
...but... neither Sky nor the BBC show ALL the games. So this weekend when my mighty Sharks hand the Bulls a carrot- I will be sitting at home watching a score ticker on SArugby.com, because they're not showing the game. Instead the almighty Sky (who I pay £42/month for the pleasure)
are showing... wait for it... UIM powerboat racing and football scores (same show on two channels)!
This happens every year!!!
I have hopefully found a solution though. I'm gonna buy a SlingBox and take it back to SA when I go back over Easter. I'm then going to stream the games to my home PC which I'll hook up to my LCD, and presto!Problem solved!
There are only two problems I can forsee. 1.) The slingbox might not like like Dstv 2.) Upstream speeds in SA using iBurst are only up to 345kbps. That's the max and Slingbox recommends a min
of 300kbps, so the picture could be kak, but in all honesty I'd learn to live with it.
If anyone reading this has had any experience using a SlingBox in SA or knows of an alternative please drop a comment- I'm desperate. Like 'toaster in the bath' desperate.
