jbcjr14 10-24-2008, 12:59 PM Actually the Skins have been on TV here in Austin 4 of their 7 games. But I have the NFL Ticket so it doesn't matter to me.
Slingbox works well, I know of some folks that have that set up when they travel abroad.
Ade Jimoh Fan Club 10-24-2008, 01:12 PM Actually, Stacks would need the SlingBox and provide his IP addrss to his friend in TX. Right?
No - the SlingBox attaches directly to the "host" cable box (someone in the DC area in this case). Then you can access or remotely-control that cable box from anywhere you have an internet connection (home, hotel, airport, etc...) or from your phone if it is compatible.

Download Sopcast, or TVAnts(follow directions on site) and look under "Live Sports" on Sundays. They show all games, in pretty bad quality if you dont mind. Also if you dont find a link under that tab, go to their forums, usually people will post a link there.
Finally got it working last week, but only one of the options on MyP2P that worked was BenTV (Japanese by the look but carried US commentary). Only thing was it was crap when played full screen and even in normal window was a bit fuzzy.
I've considered the NFL's own package, as it's available to international customers, but it uses it's own player and for how much they charge, it's too late in the season to get full value out of it.
Sky Sports in the UK have been talking about some form of NFL Ticket option here in the UK, but no word on when. However, they now carry one afternoon and one evening game, the Sunday and Monday night games and they have alternates on their interactive channels for the afternoon and evening games, so recording the games means I could potentially watch 6 games a week (and that's not including Thursday games). I just can't guarantee being able to watch the Skins unless they are on the night games.
I just wish NFL.com would allow you to buy a game for download on a game by game basis, live or recorded. They must be able to make a profit on it like that without affecting their TV revenues/contracts?
hooskins 10-24-2008, 03:25 PM Well you can always listen to games live on espn980.com as someone previously linked
hooskins 10-24-2008, 03:26 PM And I dont know about all the complains of P2P, have any of you guys tried going to their forum during the game?
Just go to the NFL thread, and there is always a decent link to every game every week. And if any of the links are bad, people start complaining, and someone immediately posts a feed.
I have had absolutely no problem watching Skins games from the library on my comp, or watching other big games not on TV.

I didn't know that - I just went from the links on their Am. Football page. I'll check it out Sunday if they aren't on the TV. Thanks.
hooskins 10-24-2008, 03:42 PM No problem, they usually have direct streams or TVAnts(which I dont like using, for no real reason) so it works out.
hooskins 10-24-2008, 03:43 PM Also I'm sure you get plenty EPL, but in the US it's almost nothing, so I watch big soccer matches on p2p as well.
Stacks42 10-24-2008, 04:00 PM sheesh! Im glad i still live in DC.
Thanks for the help everyone, i'll will update you on Monday to see how it went for him.
Chief X_Phackter 10-24-2008, 04:32 PM I live in Germany, and get the Armed Forces Network (AFN). They show 7-8 games a week, but when they don't broadcast the Redskins game, I buy the game from Yahoo. It's expensive - $19.99 per game, but that's a personal choice you'd have to make depending on if it's worth it to you or not.
