    Trying to find a good site to watch the world cup using my Macbook Pro but it seems like many require you to be using Windows :( Looking for something clean with no spam to watch the World Cup with Apple compatibility.

    ESPN site is not working. Could be because I am outside of the US. It asks me for the internet provider and then a username and password.

    Anyone able to help..? Any other links..?

    Sorry ...
    Unfortunately, your country is not currently supported.

    At this time, TVCatchup is available only in the United Kingdom.     :(

    Anyone know of a good IP blocker that may help??

    Why did you need to add using Mac OSX ... A website is a website, it can be viewed on any platform lol.

    Mac OS X has flash...

    but I seem to be running into a lot of people lately that can't understand the difference in iOS devices and Macs... they think they are the same thing.
