CD Las Ánimas vs Universidad Católica live: where to watch & match updates

Now make it worth watching

Knowing which service carries basketball is half of it. The other half is the screen you end up watching on, the room you watch it in, and whether your phone lasts to the end — and none of the three is solvable once it has started.

• How to watch basketball on your TV from your phone

  A phone is the worst screen you own, and basketball is exactly what you want on the biggest one. Getting it there is cheaper and faster than most people assume: one device in a spare HDMI port and you are watching on the television in ten minutes, on any set with an HDMI socket. The guide ranks the four ways to do it by how often they actually work, tells you in a minute whether your phone can take the cheapest route, and walks the setup through step by step.

  Some nights are too big for one sofa and one television. A projector turns a blank wall into a hundred inches of basketball, and the specification that decides whether that picture survives the room is brightness — not the "4K" printed on the box, which is the trap almost everyone falls into. The guide is the kit in the order it matters, then a seven-step room setup you do the day before rather than an hour before.

• Watch basketball on your phone without draining the battery

  Live basketball is the heaviest thing a phone ever does, and phones die near the end far more often than they die at the start — which is the half you were least willing to miss. Nine settings that cost nothing and take two minutes buy back most of it; one purchase removes the problem altogether. The guide has both, and it is honest about which of the two you actually need.
