Would anyone know the legality of watching Sky Sports on the internet (not Sky Player)? I am aware that to watch any pay tv without valid subscription is illegal but does that same illegality exist if you watch though a site like for example, mypremium.tv?

In particular, a club I have a part-time job in has had to give up their Sky subscription due to costs and I was wondering about plugging the laptop into the big screen for major matches.

I understand it is legal to watch but not legal to transmit. The chances are it wont be Sky anyway but another channel broadcasting the same event. Tred carefully with the club though.

Would agree - its not so much watching it yourself, its then broadcasting it for others to watch, at a public venue.

Do the same sort of rules not apply for DVD's and such like, too?

At that resolution? Its barely good enough for my 15 inch CRT monitor. It look dire on a big TV
