US open on European television?

[Ath]

Does anyone know who has the rights for the US open in Europe? It appears the BBC and Eurosport are not broadcasting it. Any European TV channel would be okay, I can get a lot of them in the Netherlands.

Sky sports have got it in the UK - not sure whether you get this over the Channel.

Well, I know a couple of bars in the city that have sky sports, I could call around and check whether they would show golf. They're mostly football (soccer) bars, so it might be they ignore golf.

I don't think sky is available for private persons.

Maybe I should find myself some internet stream and an American radio channel for the commentary (suggestions are welcome BTW)

Sky Sports -

i believe it's on 3pm-1am thurs and fri (GMT) and 7pm to 12:30/1am sat and sunday

Well, this is not looking good for me. Apparently Sky is the only one broadcasting the US open in Europe, and only UK and Ireland citizens can apply for the online stream.

Anyone in UK might have a Sky account they'd like to share with an unfortunate mainlander?

Do you have any tips on what clients are best, and will allow me to watch non-chinese streams?

Unfortunately available in "The United States and it's territories only" as usual. Some Myp2p-channel is your best shot. Justin.tv are usually good if it's up.

Edit: On a second note, ESPN seems to be broadcasting to Europe. Has anyone tried this? Edit2: Only for "The Middle East"...
