Sopcast is a great way to watch streaming live sports without advertising, flash streams or other clutter. At one point, sopcast was in portage along with some GUI frontends, but these have since been removed. In order to use sopcast, you'll have to install the binary manually from the [http://download.sopcast.com/download/ | sopcast download page]. Once you have downloaded it, extract the archive contents to the folder of your choice. Open a terminal and navigate to that folder. Next, copy the archive to ''/usr/bin''.
'''$''' sudo cp sp-sc-auth /usr/bin/
In order to make things easier for other applications that may reference the sopcast binary, we'll create a few symlinks.
'''$''' sudo ln -s /usr/bin/sp-sc-auth /usr/bin/sp-sc
'''$''' sudo ln -s sp-sc-auth sopcast

		+	The syntax to connect to an active sopcast stream is as follows. The ''url'' can be a specific ip or one of the sopcast broker urls. The ''channel'' is the numeric identifier for the sopcast channel you're connecting to. The ''remoteport'' and ''localport'' usually default to '''8908''' and '''3908''' respectively. If you're opening multiple streams at once, it is wise to increment both by one.
