As far as I know, and I've done a lot of searching, there's nothing comparable to Sopcast for Mac. But there is a solution...
I'm in France for a year and want to watch NFL football. I searched desperately for a solution for the Mac because there are sites that stream games through Sopcast. Short of bootcamp and that whole mess, there's not much esle to do. Except Crossover!
This application is only in beta phase, and not many applications are supported, but with Crossover you can run Windows applications on your Mac without buying Windows. And you can run Sopcast on it. In order for it to work though, you have to install it in a Win98 bottle with Windows Media Player 9 in the same bottle. You can also use VLC for mac to stream from Sopcast (you have to have both running) and there are plenty of tutorials on how to do this. Just make sure you put the stream on a loop while using VLC or it will keep stopping after a few seconds.
I hope this gets out there. Post freely on other forums as there is not much info. on this subject.

I am very interested to learn more about running sopcast through VLC. I would love to see some college football. Where might I find the tutorials you refer to? Would they explain putting 'the stream on a loop'? Thanks for any help you can give.

I tried the method Scott suggested and it works. I installed Internet Explorer 6, Media Player 7, then 9, then Sopcast. Runs exactly like it does on the PC.

just to mention that there are other windows media player plugins that are widely used ....... Sopcast, TVants, TVU PPMate and UUSee are all video softwares that are used for web broadcasting of games.
hope at least one could be made to work on a mac soon - I'm missing lots of football here !

What type of bottle did you use? Win98 like suggested or did you use something different?

Really fantastic, works a dream after hours of searching.
And why don't the people demanding instructions just do what the man says??

Hi Jantie, the following article described the Windows environment created with bottles on a Mac. It is not all that thorough, yet I could not find much on it and I don't use Windows. Ray

Interesting, thanx!
Have been looking for something like tis, as bootcamp and Parallels is a little too much of the real thing.. and I only need win for streamed football and my Boating GPS software...
meaning I really don't want to keep and support a wind partition as it takes time and is a hassle.
My question though:
How secure is it to run something like this in th emiddle of your OSX drive?
Feels a little uncomfortable seeing the win files in /applicationsupport/ etc....
How safe is a crossover bottle?
TIA and regards
