    Hi Krisss,

    You can install the sopcast software. There are some channel that broadcast Badminton videos. GD Sport, CCTV are usally have for the live.
    If you want to watch some older badminton videos, there are also some website that host the videos as http://watchbadminton.com

    Hope this help.

    Peter, that's helped me too. I'll check out that software and the website.

    Thanks!

    Gotta love those "seeded entities". If you're looking for a package there's always www.wob.tv though I still don't know what quality the best available stream is (?) ...
    The only thing you won't be able to watch is the All England due to the UK hosting it and all those living in one of the tournament host countries are blocked from watching their own tournament.

    that just seems silly, doesn't it?
    it's such a shame as it's their own tournaments that fans normally do want to watch.

    I think wob.tv does a pretty good job.
    The quality is good, the commentary is in English (That Guy is amusingly annoying:p).

    In a perfect world they would show more of the earlier rounds. However it all comes down to money and I'm glad that I'm not asked to eke out a living on the meager profit they probably make on membership.

    You could subscribe to Sky Sports who usually show live matches of All England Open, begining from Quarter Finals stage.
