But, you can understand why Football Clubs and Leagues dont want them to show 3pm games, because then people would just go to the pub instead of buying a ticket, thus killing the game itself.

Plus alot of the European stations don't have the rights to broadcast in the UK, although as we know technically you can pick up the signal and watch it

there is no law against it as there is no law against hacking satellite tv services from countries that you dont live in cuz you cant (officially) subscribe to them anyway.

as i said a few posts back i used to live new door to a pub & they had NTL.
