This is a little tweak I found out today. I don't know if I should call it a tweak or something else. It's the use of the native browser called Internet in Android smart phones to watch/stream live tv shows. I use it to stream live matches especially the UEFA Champions League matches at night.
You can use it with the Etisalat Pay Go tweak (aka Etisalad Go Pay) like me or any data bundle (at your own risk).
Things required to perform this operation, any Android Smart Phone with 3G, H or H+, or wifi, the default web browser in the Android phone, and Adobe Flash Player (mine has a factory installed version).
To check if your phone has Adobe Flash Player, go to Settings, click apps and check if it has. If it doesn't, you can download from Play Store or Mobogenie. Adobe Flash Player is needed to play live TV from any site or player.
Hoping you've gotten the items, let's begin:
STEPS:
1. Switch on ya data, and wait till your data connects.
2. Go to Internet (the default web browser in Android phones).
3. Go to any site (e.g www.google.com) to check if your internet is connecting.
4. If it is, go to this url to watch all live sports (not just football): www.cricfree.sx. You can bookmark the site or add it to your favorites to avoid always typing it www.cricfree.sx .
5. Click on the football icon, the second from the left on top of the page and that will take you to the schedules of all live matches that day.
6. Click on any of the matches you're interested in watching and beneath it will pop available stations that are showing the match. Click on any one and it will open, showing the match live.
7. There are about three adverts that will cover the match screen at first, but a little dark close mark (X) will show. Some are pretty difficult to see. Click on the first and second to close the adverts. The third usually counts down from 30 to 0 before the close mark (X) will appear. Once it does appear, click it and you'll be seeing your matches stream live.
8. To make your match full-screen, move your hand towards the bottom right of the match screen and you'll see the stretch symbol. Click on it and your matches will be on fullscreen.
Note: to the right of the match screen you'll see live chats from members of wizwig site commenting. This can actually be boring cuz whenever a new message pops in a useless sound will occur. To disable this sound, look beneath the chat screen to an empty text box area where you can type your chat if you're registered and logged in.
You'll see a little speaker icon, click on it to disable chat sounds and press yes in the small dialog box that will now appear a little above. The chat sounds are now cancelled.
To the left of the match screen, you'll see stations listed there starting from Sky Sports 1 to 5, Sky Sports News (For match highlights and news and goals, my personal favourite).
There's also a station called BEIN Sports, it contains BEIN Sport 1 to 12 (1 to 10 are Arabic speaking channels while 11 and 12 are English channels). They also have SKY MOVIES which contains about 5 other sub channels viz Comedy, Premiere, Action, Sci-Fi and Horror.
At my last count, the total number of stations here were over 70.
Your network may make it buffer or seem to skip, if that happens, I have one advice for ya: "Patience is a virtue." That's why I love streaming UEFA Champions League matches cuz they're usually held at night when the network is free from Nigerian gigs killers.
Here's another site, but this one contains live news, CNN, FOX, ESPN1,2, MTV and my favourite here is Nickelodeon (no mind me o) and other stations.

The same rules about closing adverts and chats sounds should be followed here.
So, basically, we've discussed two sites:
http://www.cricfree.sx(for live matches and a few movies)
andhttp://www.usachannels.tv (for live international and sports news).
The same method can be applied on PC using any browser (I recommend Firefox) and make sure you download and install Adobe Flash Player from www.adobe.com and activate all its plugins and add ons.
Enjoy!
