Is the semi final on live for us overseas guys?

[Hiberni-mum]

No - apparently they dont have the rights. Nor do any of the other internet people.

They have showed other SC games....are they trying to work a deal, or is all hope lost?

Stuart Crowther said on .net that it will not be shown because Sky have the rights and they would have to blank it out of all the countries that sky broadcasts in - something like that. I'll double check the post and get back to you.

Edit: I hope Stuart Crowther wont mind but I have copied and pasted his reply on .net

The problem is that with Sky having the rights, they will sell it on or broadcast themselves in many countries around the world, and in doing that prevent internet services such as Hibernian Interactive from broadcasting to these countries. We could obtain rights to broadcast but it would only be to those countries not being covered by normal television - and that makes it pretty much impossible in this case to do that given the interest in this game, our geo-blocking software would have to be set to cut out about every country where there are enough Hibs/Hearts fans to make it worthwhile.
The legalities of this are clearly laid down, if it is being broadcast by Sky in the United States, we would have to block any live transmission we made from being recieved in the United States, and likewise for every other country/region it is being transmitted to. That makes it completely hopeless for us to broadcast.

Sounds like you should be able to get it on TV if Sky are selling it all over the place

On the subject of interactive, has anyone got an answer to my problem. The games play almost at slow motion and screen keeps freezing. I have suitable graphics cards and tried emailing interactive and they tried a lot of things but still cant get it. It used to be fine. One thing is really irratating. When i log in games go slow, but when interactive email me the link for individual games they play fine, so then I go through usual links and it doesnt work again. Im going to have to cancel subscription as im wasting money but maybe someone can help me first.

Fox is owned by Rubert Murdoch, same gentleman who owns Sky. So, should make sense for the Fox Network to somehow show it.
