Video highlights

Hi evrybody, i discovered this fantastic sport nearly 1 yr ago, and now i'm completely addicted to it so much to keep surfing the looking for pics, match reports, live scores etc.
But one thing i cannot find is video highlights of cricket's main events. I can receive skynews at my place but there are not many reports there, its not a sport channel just a big news one. I need to find a website providing cricket video highlights (free would be better but i can pay any reasonable sum to eventually watch some top cricket action!)
In my country (Italy)ppl don t even know what cricket is about!!! So can you help me with some good link pls? Skysport broadband online is providing some action but its only for ppl logging on from a uk/roi registered IP!!!
Just some websites with some video action, if it includes these Ashes Tests even better! Otherwise i will be compelled to rely on DVDs on sale featuring this events....
Thanks buddies,

I'm not sure (and can't actually check because I'm at work) but isn't it possible to get video feeds through a link from the Cricinfo site?

Have a look on there, look at the site map and have a dig around. I'm sure I saw something about video links at some time in the past.

MOD EDIT - Is illegal... why else do you think it hits the naughty word filter? 8-)

Check out what you actually wrote and then read my post again. :p

Though don't edit your original because I'm afraid I know what site you're heading to and from the situation of the chap who started this thread, I'd have thought he doesn't qualify for the legal requirements of the forum.

From my understanding of the rules thing, it is for people who have paid for the original program then want to rewatch but haven't got a copy of it.

As he doesn't have original subscription (or he wouldn't be asking), it would make it illegal.

Think that's how it works because there's a dozen disclaimers stating it's the individual members responsibility to make it legal, not theirs.

Can't see discalimers on the site. As far as I am aware the legality in this country is you are allowed to watch as long as you don't record to a media. But the law is changing all the time. I have been using the site for 4 months now and no issues.

From the site concerned:

"1. Legal Notice

You receive a cable/satellite/antenna feed with the content you watch It is your fundamental right as a consumer to record/copy/digitize/re-view/ anything subscribe to at any time you wish to review them. Since these TV shows are easily accessible and purchasable to nearly 100% of the Subscribed users we do not wish to burden you with any proof of ownership/subscription. We make what you have the fundamental right to record and review available to you 24/7 if you do not have the personal ability to record/view at home.

2. Member notice
Also members are required to take this in notion:

Translated into English as "if you have access to these channels anyway, then it's legal to use these streams, otherwise it's entirely your fingers that get burnt if you get caught".

It's not what the original poster's looking for and I'm removing the link(s).

Look at what Top_Cat has posted, I'm sure he knows what he's talking about in terms of legality.

If not, his colleagues may want a word. ;)
