ATDHE.net, streams live sports events and major TV and news channels. The ATDHE website is very easy to use, but there are a few things worth knowing about how to use it, and some issues which may arise.
Switch to ATDHEnet.tv
On Feb 1st 2011, a number of sports streaming sites including ATDHE.net had their domain names seized by the US Dept of Homeland Security as past of copyright infringement investigations. At the present it appears that ATDHE has switched to a new domain, ATDHEnet.tv.1
Other websites claiming to be ATDHE have also sprung up, notably ATDHE.me. There are now reasons to believe that ATDHE.me is not the same site, and probably should be avoided.
This article will be updated when the future of ATDHE becomes clearer. In the mean time it is important to be cautious in using any website calling itself ATDHE, and in particular to avoiding downloading anything from any such site.
Normal Use of ATDHE.net
Go to the ATDHEnet.tv website, which will appear as shown in Screenshot 1 below. At the top of the main page you will see a list of popular TV shows, such as Frasier and South Park. If you want to watch live TV instead of these selected shows, click the Live TV link on the right directly under the ATDHE.net title. If you want to watch live sports scroll down the main page until you find the day’s events listed, as shown in Screenshot 2.
Live sports events are only listed for one day at a time, and will appear in order of their starting times. Since ATDHE covers major sports events worldwide, European events will usually appear first, and North American events will appear lower down the list, with West Coast events typically the last of all.
Each line shows information about one particular event, including its starting time in Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Central European Time (CET). A small image shows the type of event, for example a soccer ball indicates a soccer match and a puck indicates ice hockey.
Sometimes there will be several different lines in the list for the same game. These are different streams from alternative sources, and if one of them does not work for you, it is worth trying another. Usually if there are alternative streams, the last one listed is most likely to be working, as it will be the most recently added.
If the list of events is not what you would expect, it may be that ATDHE has not yet been updated, and is still showing the events from the previous day. ATDHE.net only lists one day’s events at a time, and there is no advance schedule published beyond the current day.
When you click on the yellow link for the game you’re interested in, a new window will open with the video stream. If the game has not yet started, the screen may be black. Even for a game in progress, the screen may be black for a short time or have a “play” arrow that you need to click to start the video stream.
Normally after trying the available links, you will find one that works and be able to watch the event you wanted to see. If following these steps does not start the video for you, see the section on Possible Issues below.
Screenshots
Screenshot 1 – ATDHE.net Main Page
This is what the top of the main ATDHE page looks like. Underneath the title there is a link to go the page which lists regular TV channels, while live sports events are found by scrolling down.
Live sports streams are found lower down this same page, sorted by start time
Screenshot 2 – ATDHE.net Live Sports Streams List
Towards the bottom of the ATDHE.net main page, the current day’s sports events are listed. These are highlighted by the red box in the image below. (The red box has been added to the screenshot to help explain the screen, and is not part of the website itself.)
The red arrow in the above image points to a single line, which lists the details for the Rangers vs Celtic soccer game from the Scottish Premier League. Note that there are several different streams for the same game, and the arrow points to the last of them.
Clicking on the name of the game (in yellow) will open a new window with the video stream.
Screenshot 3 – ATDHE.net Live Streaming Window
The new window will typically look as shown below. It is a smaller browser window, sized to fit the video. It may take a few moments for the video to begin.
Possible Issues
As explained above, some individual streams may not work. Perhaps the stream was found to be infringing copyright and was removed for legal reasons. Alternately there may be a technical problem with the stream, perhaps such as the server being too busy with many people trying to watch at the same time.
In either case, you will most likely find another stream listed for the same game that is working. Also it is worth coming back to streams later and trying again, and problems are sometimes only temporary.
Other issues can arise too. For example, ATDHE does not work on iPhones and iPads, sometimes it may have problems working in Internet Explorer, and sometimes you may be asked to download software.
Read the main ATDHE article for more information on how ATDHE works, and what your options are for dealing with these issues.
