TvAnts for Dummies

Aight...

CL draw has been made. EPL has started, Spain and Italy to follow soon. I know some of you are interested in watching some of these games. As i have told lfcluva, every week (or midweek), I will be posting the channels that some of the important games are showing on tvants..seeing that most of us here support big teams, it 'should' be no problem getting these games every week....

i know al already has the program, so for the guys at school, get the program from al...

if not, follow:

(1) Download tvants : http://rapidshare.de/files/4461997/TvantsSetup.exe.html


(2) Install

(3) Once installed, open it (double click)

(4) Click the "Servers" tab in the top left hand corner; you should see one server there (www.tvants.com)

(5) Click "add" on the bottom right corner within the "Server" tab

(6) In the "Name" and "Address" field, enter EACH one of these:

fanshoptv.no-ip.info
www1.tvants.com
www2.tvants.com
tracker2.tvants.com
tracker.tvants.com
10.214.49.88
trackersport.serveftp.com
213.97.9.122
skyland.zapto.org
fw-tracker.no-ip.com
pirateradio.hopto.org
djdomyx-streaming.no-ip.org
hive.tobroadcast.com

you are entering each one in both fields and then hit ok.
so you are pressing the "add" button 13 times..

(7) now you are basically done. to get the channels, hit the "search" tab. However, all of this shit is in Ching ching writing. The list of channels can be found here http://www.fussball-foren.net/fussball-live.html

when you click the "tick" for a channel, it will automatically open up tvants and go to that channel.

(8) every channel you open will be saved in the "channels" tab. Since most of the games may show on the same channel, it would be wise to right-click and edit each channel. You are allowed to rename it to whatever you like.

(9) If you are a comp sci man, then you can further tweak the performance of tvants by doing the following:

1. Click Start -> Run.
2. At the text box after Open:, key in “Cmd” (without quote).
3. Press Enter.
4. Key in at command prompt: cd c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
5. Key in at command prompt: edit hosts
6. Add in the following line: 211.155.224.14 www.tvants.com
7. Save the hosts file by pressing Alt-F then pressing S.
8. Exit the edit program and exit the command prompt.
9. Restart the TVants program and search for channels programs.

Also make sure that the firewall is not blocking port 16600.

I hope this is good enough...it is fairly straightfoward.
I will be posting the channels and times each game is coming on. YOU have to go to the link i provided in step 7 to find the channel.
