Add link to match on livesoccertv.com

Description of Problem:

When an upcoming match is shown to me, I want to see options for viewing that match on my local TV / cable channels, so I don't have to search around to figure out how to watch the match.

Potential Solutions:

Use football-data match information to construct a livesoccertv match URL (example), and place those links in a new column in the daily match schedule table and/or include them in the 15 minute reminder messages.

If this proves to be too difficult, just place a generic link to the livesoccertv homepage at the bottom of the daily match schedule PDF.

After some time spent messing with livesoccertv.com using the data elements that are provided by football-data, I don't see a way to convert even somewhat reliably between the two. So implement plan B for now and revisit if a better approach becomes apparent in future.
